It doesn't seem like any APR developer is taking this on, and it seems
reasonable for Subversion to do what it can in the meantime.
Since APR doesn't always work with "", would our potential issue
description be something like this?:
Make Subversion libraries internally use "." to refer to the
current directory, and make the svn_path_xxx functions assume (and
canonicalize) to "." as the current directory. Tweak the command
line client and notification system as necessary to handle this.
