Interresting. And as I noted elsewhere, it could also have "/" in
filenames since the directory separator is ":", which means the
canonicalization of "foo:bar/gazonk" to "foo/bar/gazonk" would not be
reversible.
The ideal canonicalization format would probably be a list of
svn_string, but that might be a bit awkward to work with.
