RE: [RFC] Canonical Paths

> Yeah, "." is the right answer if you ask me.

Doesn't APR have functions that determine what a string means for
the OS and file systems its implemented on? The "." surely is
a detail hidden inside APR. As is the problem of joining to a path
etc.

What is svn's approach to naming files on file systems where the
file's name in the repos cannot be created?

And to answer my own question after adding "bar\file.txt" from FreeBSD:

> "c:\Program Files\Subversion\svn.exe" up
svn: The system cannot find the path specified.
svn: could not save file
svn: svn_io_file_open: can't open
`./.svn/tmp/text-base/bar\file.txt.svn-base'
