Re: TSVN 1.5.5 shows a strange folder in freshly created repository

The correct URI[1] for a file on a remote server is

        file://servername/path

where the path usually starts with the name of a share.

If you want a file on the local host, you omit the servername:

        file:///path

or use "localhost" as servername and the path usually starts with a
drive letter.

Try it in Windows explorer - "file://localhost/c:/", "file:///c:/" and
"c:\" are identical, as are "file://filesrv/xxx" and "\\filesrv\xxx".

So the correct URIs for checking out your two repos would be:

        file://filesrv/xxx/yyy/zzz/AllwynD/test
        file://filesrv/xxx/yyy/zzz/AllwynD/user_sandbox

Try checking out both again in a new directory using those URIs. But
seriously - why do you access your repository on the network via the
file system (which is inherently bound to have problems) instead of
setting up a proper svn or http server for your repositories?

(While other, incorrect forms are handled by some programs you can't
rely on everything else handling those the same way... which seems to be
what's happening here.)
