It would be cool if svn.exe (the client) could follow HTTP return code '302' during svn-co and svn-up operations.
I'm thinking that this is just for GET* of resources, and that someone who's managed to *front* their Mod_Dav_Svn with something that can do redirects for select resources. Say to resources in S3. (request) GET /repos/asf/!svn/rvr/1234/path/to/movie.mp4 HTTP/1.1 Host: svn.example.com User-Agent: SVN/1.9.7 (x86_64-apple-darwin17.3.0) serf/1.3.9 Accept-Encoding: gzip (response) 302 Found Location https://foobar.s3.amazonaws.com/1234/path/to/movie.mp4 (subsequent request) GET 1234/path/to/movie.mp4 HTTP/1.1 Host: foobar.s3.amazonaws.com User-Agent: SVN/1.9.7 (x86_64-apple-darwin17.3.0) serf/1.3.9 Accept-Encoding: gzip (Amazon itself does more 302's here, probably) * You could make a general case that any (or more than just GET) of the HTTP methods could be redirectable but discussing GET is a narrow case for the sake of a debate. Also, you could make a case for 307 responses too - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/307 I'd go ahead a raise a Jira feature request, depending on the outcome of this debate, per dev-team rules.
