I'm also wondering if the APR_FILEPATH_NATIVE would be a good thing
there. Then I started wondering about the UTF-8 translation -
apr_path_get_absolute seems to be doing a lot of that and it's the
only place where we use apr_filepath_merge (yet).

It's a bit of a mess in my head which paths should be in which
format on a certain platform, and which paths should be in UTF-8
format with regarding ra_svn and which shouldn't.

Actually, it's a bit of a mess in my head altogether, I haven't
slept too recently.

The former sounds like a good choice, I'll change my code to do
that for now.
