Re: Version identifier in URL

If you really want to surf into the past, maybe you need to decorate
the URLs at the beginning rather than the end, with the idea that
relative links might still work.

e.g., make

http://myserver.com//VERSION=12//stuff.html

instead of

http://myserver.com/stuff.html


Then any relative links don't have to get rewritten in order to refer
to the same branch. I guess this only works for named revision trees.
