RE: Re: [Issue 584] - get rid of path styles inside svn

You know, I just realized why this code has been really bugging me
(before and after your suggested patch), and why making SVN's callers
worry about the silly conversions makes me so annoyed. We don't
differentiate paths from URLs. They're a separate conceptual data type
with different rules about how they're composed, parsed, etc...

If we were using something other than C, expressing this desire would be
so much easier. *sigh* As things stand, of course, we're rather stuck
with C.
 
Programming with better type systems can make so many things non-issues,
Bill

P.S. Anybody want to port SVN into C++, ocaml, or sml/nj? ;)
