Thta doesn't solve the problem --- even if you did a transparent proxy
from /incubator/foo to /foo, you'd still have the problem of allowing
access to historical (pre-rename) revisions of /incubator/foo.
(unless the proxy is somehow peg-revision-aware and translates
'svn ls /incubator/foo_at_42' to 'svn ls -r42 /foo_at_HEAD'.)
