Thta doesn't solve the problem --- even if you did a transparent proxy from /incubator/foo to /foo, you'd still have the problem of allowing access to historical (pre-rename) revisions of /incubator/foo. (unless the proxy is somehow peg-revision-aware and translates 'svn ls /incubator/foo@42' to 'svn ls -r42 /foo@HEAD'.) > Sure, proxying eats more server resources than redirecting. > > -- Brane > > -- > Branko Čibej > Director of Subversion | WANdisco | www.wandisco.com >
