FYI... yes: repositories will be a URL. For local operation, we could also
use a path or a file: URL:
http://host/path/repos -- use libsvn_ra_dav
/path/repos -- use libsvn_ra_local
relative/repos -- use libsvn_ra_local
file://path/repos -- use libsvn_ra_local(*)
(*) I'm not sure whether it is //path or ///path ... *shrug* we should
accept both forms as an absolute reference (no relative file URLs)
I will also warn you against using metacharacters as (short) option names.
Bash is very good about metacharacters, but others aren't. I think you'll
also have problems with -> and -< on any shell. And don't say that people
should quote them :-) IMO, use only letters and avoid metacharacters. If
somebody types -?, then the option won't be recognized and the help will be
shown; otherwise, help would simply be -h or --help.
Cheers,
