In the distant past, that function would only recognize URLs of the form:

  http://host/repos/$svn/...

Thus, we wanted to bail on host/repos or host/repos/. The comment made
perfect sense within that respect.

Then, at some later time, somebody (*cough*ben*cough*) added the capability
to recognize "public" URLs. Those of the form: http://host/repos/foo.
However, that change did not account for the root.

Should be a simple fix. I'll get it later tonite.

[ still gotta look into Ben Collins' timeout bug, too... ]
