Perhaps the attached patch "tigris-download-folder.diff" should be applied to give the correct, full folder addresses; or, more likely, we should just give the address as "http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList" and let the user navigate below that, as in the attached patch "tigris-download-list.diff".
The only essential change is that line 607 of INSTALL needs "servlets/" inserted in the URL.
Log message (delete parts as applicable):
[[[
Fix and update references to Tigris web site download pages.
* INSTALL
* www/getting_subversion.html
Fix a broken link by inserting "servlets/" where it was missing.
Update "ProjectDownloadList" to the new name "ProjectDocumentList",
to avoid a redirection and possible future obsolescence.
Link to the appropriate sub-folder in each case.
[OR]
Link to the root of the tree, as the addresses of sub-folders may change.
]]]
What combination of these possible changes do we want?
