Yes, and I believe he wants to prevent users from being able to do
that, and allow them only to checkout and update the HEAD revision.
AFAIK there isn't a built-in way to do that. It might be possible to
add some Apache rules, that is if you're serving the repository with
Apache, and if you can figure out the internal format of URLs
Subversion uses. You may be able to deny access to URLs of old
revisions or something. But I don't recall anything like this having
been mentioned on the list before, so you're probably on your own. As
someone else asked, it would be good to know why you want to do this.
