Maybe, but it's not what I require :-)

Of course. It's not my point to add revision browsing, commit messages and
properties to the web interface. It's just selection of revisions using
reproducible URLs.

Well, yes, that's better. It is more natural and close to what I want (I
knew someone would point me to a repo browser that is better in this
aspect) but that's not the point. I'd like to have an URL that directly
relates to a Subversion URI. Pedantic me :-)

It's a different URL. You have to give separate URLs for web-browsing and
for working with the clients. Why use URLs and WebDAV for the repository
at all?

But it could, couldn't it? The "?rev=" thing is not used for anything
AFAIK and will possibly remain unused as PROPFIND is all it takes. Why not
introduce this feature for this very purpose.
