Isn't the log message wrong? You're not allowing file:///X:/ which is
already supported, but file:///X:. But that's not a canonical URL (we
"know" that /^[A-Za-z]:/ is a directory on Windows), and libsvn_ra_local
has no business accepting non-canonical paths. The bug is IMHO in the
code that calls, e.g., svn_ra_open with a non-canonical URL.
