How do I browse an old revision of a Subversion repository through the web view?

Solution 1:

Append something like this to your repository URL:

!svn/bc/<revision_number>/

E.g.

http://www.example.com/svnrepository/!svn/bc/3/

Alternative

From Bert Huijben's comment:

If your repository is hosted using Subversion 1.6.0 or later, you can use example.com/svnrepository/?p=3 for the same result... This method /is/ documented. (?r= revision of the file, ?p= operational revision of the URL). See the subversion 1.6 release notes

Solution 2:

Append this to your repository's URL:

?p=24

Examples:

http://www.example.com/svnrepository/?p=65
http://www.example.com/svnrepository/subdir/file.html?p=42

Documentation: http://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.6.html#historical-uris

Solution 3:

It depends on the svn webclient you're using. In the case of trac (and maybe some others), just add the the parameter rev= to the querystring.

i.e. http://trac.example.com/log/trunk/client/filename?rev=123
