From the log message:
"...This allows the user to use '^/' in front of any target to mean
the repository root url...."
I wrote this to mean that the repository root url syntax is "^/" not
"^". Of course you do have to read into it a bit to get that. Julian
mentioned that eventually this syntax would likely be documented in
the svnbook and I guess we should explicitly mention the bare
repository root case.
