Why don't we just implement server-side support for the trailing
"@NNN" syntax already supported by the client? This would be in both
mod_dav_svn and svnserve. We already have an elegant escaping
mechanism for it, too, for paths that contain @-signs.

All of this is already documented for the client, and (obviously) it's
best if the client-side syntax is the same as the browser syntax. It
shouldn't be hard to implement in the servers.

Am I missing something, or would this solve our problem totally?

By the way, this thread is very old and large, more than 50 messages.
