Except that those are the wrong form. The semicolon part has to appear at the
end, after the file extension:

        http://slog.dk/~jensen/y.html;x

and just guessing from what was being displayed with your example, that's not
going to work. However, it did give me an idea:

The ';revision' has to be applied to the path, not the file, in order to be
considered part of the base URL for browser purposes, hence this:

        http://slog.dk/~jensen;x/y.html

should correctly construct relative URL's, and all of these could be considered
equivalent, though only the last would be normalized:

        http://slog.dk/~jensen;x/deeper/and/deeper/y.html
        http://slog.dk/~jensen/deeper;x/and/deeper/y.html
        http://slog.dk/~jensen/deeper/and;x/deeper/y.html
        http://slog.dk/~jensen/deeper/and/deeper;x/y.html

The server would need to extract the revision from the URL prior to making up
the path/target.
