Re: Short-urls impossible with WebDAV Pass Thru

Wow, this is surprising.

If i think back to when we moved to Subversion, i remember how always it was to 
do these long urls. In CVS, there was defined a CVSROOT that handled any 
pathing like hostname or local directory. We found the typing in a URL to be 
error prone. To minimize error we wanted to minimize the size of the url and 
what you're saying is: that case isn't even regularly tested?Ben Reser

To add to this.  I wouldn't ever recommend running Subversion at the
ServerRoot.  There are all sorts of edge case bugs that have come up over the
years when doing that.  I have no doubt there will be other bugs in the future
related to this.  Our test suite does not test this scenario.

For example there was this situation not that long ago:

I'm sure we'd be happy to look at a patch to our test suite that allows
automated testing over HTTP on the server root. :)

You only need to type URLs to check out. After that you can use the caret
short-hand notation in the working copy, e.g. svn merge ^/trunk.
