Issue 1306 - Corrections to the FAQ (Appendix C)

From: Francois Beausoleil <fbos_at_users.sourceforge.net>

Hi,

I am talking specifically about section svn-ap-c-sect-1.2.4. Here is the
current text:
        <sect3 id="svn-ap-c-sect-1.2.4">
          <title>I'm Running Subversion Under Windows and I Can Create
            a Repository Fine, but I Get Errors Trying to Import or
            Check Out from It.</title>

          <para>If the error looks something like:</para>

          <screen>
svn_error: #21085 :
  svn_ra_local__split_URL: Unable to find valid repository
          </screen>

          <para>Then the problem is that Subversion doesn't handle
          file URLs that have a drive specification. Try changing to
          that drive then doing an import without the drive spec. For
          example:</para>

          <screen>
d:
svn import e:\file\to\be\imported file:///some/path/to/repos/on/d/drive
          </screen>
        </sect3>

Now, I just tried with
E:\svn-trunk\doc\book\book>svn --version
svn, version 0.25.0 (r6433)
   compiled Jul 10 2003, 22:05:10

and it works fine. I can do the following:
d:
svnadmin create repos
e:
svn import temp file:///d:/repos
svn checkout file:///d:/repos wc

This probably changed at some point, and this FAQ entry is probably
unnecessary then. Should I remove it ? I searched Issuezilla, but
cannot find an issue about that. Does anybody know about that, so we can
leave a reference ? If we do not remove that FAQ entry or rewrite it,
then the issue should be closed because the patch is unnecessary.

Thanks,
