I've been puzzling over this for several days, looked at documentation
etc. I guess it must be possible to set up an SVN+WebDAV server this
way, but that doesn't seem to be the way ours is set up, or at least we
don't have access over our https link to a versions/ directory.
Instead, everything is under either trunk/ or branches/ (the latter
happens to be empty). Below that level, there are only directory and
file names, no visible version numbers, and by default you only get the
latest version. We can access specific versions with Linux commands like
svn cat -r1340 <fname>
which of course sends that version of <fname> to stdout; or alternatively
svn co -r1340 <fname>
But of course those commands aren't available in XXE.
Also version #s in our system are strictly integers--not decimals like
1.2, which I haven't seen since I last used RCS.
Can you point me to somewhere on the web that documents using the
http://www.acme.corp/dav/versions/1.2/doc.xml method?
