URL problem

Hello!

This is a problem I first run into some time ago. Back then, Kevin told
me:
> Our URL parsing code _STILL_ doesn't recognize paths with a drive spec in

The problem is described below.

I set up a local repository on my Windows 2000 in D:\svntest\repos.
When I run svn co the URL is file:///svntest/repos. This is ok as long
as I run the command from somewhere on drive D:

But, when I run it from, let's say, E:\ I get:

E:\>svn co file:///svntest/repos -d d:/svntest/wc

svn_error: #21097 : <Couldn't find a repository.>
  Unable to open an ra_local session to URL

svn_error: #21097 : <Couldn't find a repository.>
  svn_ra_local__split_URL: Unable to find valid repository

which makes sense, but how can I specify the full path in the URL so
that it doesn't depend on the run path of svn?

I was wondering what is the status with this issue. I don't know how DB
routines handle the path, but I made some debug and I think the problem
is somehow in the way the URL is parsed in svn_ra_local__split_URL().

Could you please throw some light on this?
