Re: Official revision syntax for Subversion URLs

From: David Waite <mass_at_akuma.org>

I'll throw another bit into the fire - if the project accept my solution
(redirect to the proper 'internal' URL when a query "svn.revision=xxx"
is seen), I'll let you assign the issue to me ;-)

If the internal repository URLs change in the future, we can just update
the redirect logic later.
