[viewvc-users] svn sticky revision in path rather than query

Hello,

Is it possible to include the svn sticky revision in the path component of a
ViewVC URL instead of the query part?

The use case is that my repository stores the HTML files of a website. I
would like to browse an old version of the website using a sticky revision.
Links within the HTML files don't include the "?pathrev=XXX" part, so they
point to the HEAD revision, not revision of the source link.

Sticky revisions would be stickier if there were a means to put them in the
path part of the URL. Instead of
http://example.org/viewvc.cgi/some/file?pathrev=10000, it would be useful to
be able to write http://example.org/viewvc.cgi/*revision=10000*/some/file. 

However, the specification of ViewVC URLs
(http://viewvc.tigris.org/nonav/source/browse/*checkout*/viewvc/trunk/docs/u
rl-reference.html) doesn't seem to allow for this.

Is there a simple solution to implement this requirement? (maybe through
Apache rewrite rules?)

Thank you,
-- 
Alexandre.
