Ah. Right now, Subversion doesn't accept \ as the separator on Windows,
only /. We used to have that feature, but it was implemented so horribly
that we threw it out, but didn't replace it with something better (yet).

Look at issue #603, and related #684; it's one of the myriad things I
haven't yet got around to. If you'd care to take on this one, I'd be
eternally grateful!
