  Yes we did. I think the concensus was not to do anything because
  nobody could decide what colour the bikeshed should be.

  I'll throw another colour into the palette: put the revision at
  the root of the repository URL:

    http://myserver/repos@124/path/to/file

  This:

    1) Avoids ambiguity on resouces within a revision tree
    2) Doesn't need any special escaping/dodgy logic
    3) More closely represents what the repository is actually
       doing (shifting to a revision and finding a resource, not
       the other way around).

  Downsides:

    1) It's not always clear (to the user) where to stick the
       revision info in the URL.
