Ouch ouch ouch. Be *very* careful here. You can't properly test these
changes on Unix, because all path styles have the same separator
character. I went through a week of sleepless nights just after M3 to
get svn working on Windows, and I don't like the prospect of doing so again.
Please try to find a Windows machine to test your changes on, or badger
somebody into doing it for you (I'd volunteer, if only there were 29
hours in a day).
If you can prove we're sending local paths and URLs (the one refer to
files in the WC, the other to their properties, usually) through the
same functions, I'd say that's a bug, possibly in the design. These
paths should never mix, their semantics are quite different.
