Serf sends the delta base to the server (what does TEMPORARILY mean
here?):

/** This header is *TEMPORARILY* used to transmit the delta base to the
 * server. It contains a version resource URL for what is on the client.
 */
#define SVN_DAV_DELTA_BASE_HEADER "X-SVN-VR-Base"

so a GET looks like:

GET /obj/repo/!svn/rvr/2/f HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8888
User-Agent: SVN/1.8.0-dev serf/1.1.1
DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/depth
DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/mergeinfo
DAV: http://subversion.tigris.org/xmlns/dav/svn/log-revprops
X-SVN-VR-Base: /obj/repo/!svn/rvr/1/f
Accept-Encoding: svndiff1;q=0.9,svndiff;q=0.8
