I use Subversion for revision control, and while most Svn tools (like Subclipse, TortoiseSVN, and even the svn command-line client) offer decent log- and diff-tools, sometimes I find it easier to quickly pull up an Svn resource in a browser to look at it.
Let's use the Google Code 'svn merge fairy' project for our guinea pig. Their current trunk is at http://svn-merge-fairy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ (revision 8 at the time of writing).
Now, to easily browse an earlier revision of the tree, simply edit the URL and insert "/!svn/bc/<revision number>/" after the Svn root: http://svn-merge-fairy.googlecode.com/svn/!svn/bc/1/trunk/
Here you can see that the first version (revision 1) of the project contained no files.
(I'll come back to branch-management using svn merge fairy in a future post.)

Thanks, exactly what I needed :)
Thanks, man
Thanks, that's an useful information.
Is there any way how to display diff between two versions? (I mean through this basic SVN HTTP intrface, I do not mean any other tools like WebSVN). Thanks
