The general use-case for all that 'get/create link'
functionality is as follows. In a document management
context, the user often wants to
* put a link to a specific (usually current) version
of a document into another document, or
* put a link to a specific (usually current) version
of a document into an e-mail
without the need to create a gazillion tags that
must never be changed or moved afterwards.

I was thinking about
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.6_releasenotes.html#historical-uris
Sure, these are not supported on pre-1.6 servers.
But clicking on such a link from an e-mail, for
instance, would immediately open the respective
file in the desired version.
