First, that's a server function, i.e. you need _direct_ access to the
repository database. So a client can't use that function because it has
to access the repository via network.
Second: No, even with that function it wouldn't work. Subversion doesn't
store "forward links" in its database which would be needed for that.
But some people are considering to add those tables to the database for
the 2.0 release of Subversion (can't be done earlier, because of the
compatibility rules).
