I think this would be a nice feature to have in mod_dav_svn. It is, IMO,
a better approach than the one currently implemented on the
SVNParentPathTemplate branch, even if it is limited to httpd-2.4+.
Graham, I've created a branch for this:
^/subversion/branches/mod-dav-svn-expressions
you can commit your patch there, if you will; you have the necessary
karma since Subversion-the-project uses the universal-commit bit.
Once that's done, we'll want to tweak our test suite so that we can test
the new feature, and probably update docs and so on.
