The URLs are considered to be opaque, and therefore, you should not rely
on them. They may change in the future and we make no promise to keep
the same format.

Sorry, this has been discussed before, but the vast majority of the
developers are in consensus... mod_dav_svn's current "browsing"
capabilities are as far as it goes. If you want additional browsing
features, use one of the many great viewers out there already (WebSVN,
FlexySVN, ViewCVS, etc). The 3 I listed are really pretty good, and easy
to setup.
