Well, I suppose there's nothing preventing us from adding a 'custom'
URL form to mod_dav_svn -- it needn't have anything to do with
WebDAV/DeltaV. It could simply be a custom URL form that we promise
to support forever, unlike our DeltaV '!svn' URLs.

How about supporting revisions using url-encoded variables? e.g.
something like:
http://domain.com/repos/trunk/file?rev=3423
http://domain.com/repos/trunk/file?rev=HEAD-4
http://domain.com/repos/trunk/file?date=20030415
Then, when you visit a repository page using a browser, whatever query
string (after the ?) is appended to each link? No need to change the
base URL...
For that matter, we could perhaps extend this later with:
http://domain.com/repos/trunk/file?diff_r1=3423&diff_r2=3450
and get a diff between two different versions?
And
http://domain.com/repos/trunk?rev=3423&log=verbose
to get the log item for that revision?
Seems to me that it shouldn't be that hard to implement some sort of
scheme that mimics many of the (read-only) functions of the svn client,
just passing parameters through the URL.
