Right. Changing SVN_PATH_SEPARATOR would not work. In fact, I'm surprised
that the symbol still exists. *THE* path separator is '/'. It is the
canonical/internal separator for the code, it is used for URLs, and it is
used in the repository. We really can't change that.
Mac users won't be able to use '/' in their pathnames. Sorry, too bad.
