The directory URLs in Sourcecast are a bit cryptic, indeed.
'15/5996/' has nothing to do with revision numbers at all. It's just
some kind of random object-id. The whole file-sharing part of
sourcecast is implemented on top of MySQL; what you're looking at is a
URL pointer to some kind of sql object. So there's really nothing we
can do to control the 'names' of these directories. They're somewhat
randomly created whenever you create a new "directory".

Correct... because it's not a real filesystem being exported by
Apache.

There's been talk (someday) of transforming the file-sharing feature
into a real mod_dav share -- either mod_dav_fs or mod_dav_svn. Then
we'd have total control over directory names and real directory
listings. Heck, you could even *mount* the dav share with your
Sourcecast username/password.
