Imagine this simple apache configuration:

<Location "/">
        Redirect /trunk/ http://svntest.do
main.com/tags/1.0/
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /var/svn/test
</Location>

If i use my browser to go to:

http://svntest.domai
n.com/trunk/

It gets redirected properly to:

http://svntest.do
main.com/tags/1.0/

Now, if I do:

svn co http://svntest.domai
n.com/trunk/ test

then I get:

svn: URL 'http://svntest.domain
.com/trunk' doesn't exist.

So, my question is how can I make svn follow redirects and
why
doesn't it already?

The idea that I'm experimenting with is the ability to
create what
amounts to an alias. I want to be able to pin a specific tag
to a
specific folder and be able to update that tag by just
changing the
apache config. svn:externals doesn't quite help in this
regard
because svn also wouldn't find that 'trunk' folder either.

This doesn't answer your question exactly, but ...

I haven't tried this with mod_dav_svn, but you could try
using URL
rewriting instead of a redirect.

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

You probably want to use the PT flag for this kind of
rewrite.

Jon, Subversion does not support redirects. That's all I can
tell you. I've
tried to use these before myself to no avail (and to strange
error messages). In
the end I had to give up.
