Bug Description

Comparing viewvc to loggerhead, viewvc has *much* nicer URLs.

Example:
  http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/mango/trunk/docs/schemas/

Compared to (gives a traceback ATM):
  http://bzr-mirror.gnome.org:9876/mango/trunk/files/136?file_id=42@9f8299ed-861a-4ad2-a792-dd2389c2f523:trunk:docs%2Fschemas

Above URL is way more complicated. I just want to browse a directory.. I haven't specified a revision, so it should just leave that out.

At most I'd like an URL like:
  http://bzr-mirror.gnome.org:9876/mango/trunk/files/docs/schemas/

(extra /files)

This may be a duplicate. I know that the generated URL's frustrate the current maintainers of loggerhead. While they are machine accurate they are not human friendly.

Hey, at least the code running on bzr-mirror.gnome.org has revnos in the links not revids :) (and bzr-svn revids, at that).

Generating links with paths rather than file_ids is a little bit harder because the file path can change depending on the revision that you are generating the link for ...

(the bug with the annotate file links not working is fixed in my branch, btw, it was missing some url quoting)
