Maybe you could elaborate a bit on this issue? I'm interested in exactly
the same feature for the HTTP(S)/WebDAV-based, Apache-powered scenario.
I think the new SVNListParentPath feature introduced in Subversion 1.3
is amazing, wouldn't it be possible to send an additional HTTP header
that advertizes to the (repo) browser/WebDAV client that the current URI
is a repository collection? How much is the repo browser different from
a generic WebDAV folder display utility (this might make a good FAQ
entry)?
I'm currently absolving an internship at an EE/IT company, and I'm
willing to hack on the repo browser if required :).
Thanks for your great efforts!
