what can I do via web i/f other than browse HEAD?
Hi Subversion People
Pointing my browser at the repository URL, I can browse HEAD.
Could someone please tell me, or point me to where I can find
out about other stuff I can do from my browser? e.g. is it
possible to browse older revisions, it is possible to receive
a [compressed] tar stream (on the fly bundling), can I see
revision logs? Thanks!

Nope. All of those features will be implemented through an external CGI,
rather than right in SVN itself. We'll be building off of the ViewCVS
codebase for this stuff. (in fact, there are already some moves within SVN
to make it repository independent)
Cheers,

There *are* URLs that allow you to browse an arbitrary revision in the
repository; but the format of such a URL is opaque and dependent on
the particular repository implementation. (DAV/DeltaV only specifies
a way for a client to "discover" the opaque URL, but doesn't define
the URL syntax directly.) If I told you our syntax, I'd have to kill
you. :-)
So for now, you can only browse head. Later this summer, we'll be
expanding ViewCVS's capabilities to read svn repositories as well --
so you'll get full ViewSVN functionality then.
(You can see revision logs with 'svn log' (try 'svn help log'))
