we could rename the option to:
- display path in operating system style
- display path in url style (without the server)
- display path in url style (with server)
then it would not break notation :)
the copying was a very useful feature in daily work and the
convenient thing was that you can paste it to local path (svn takes
it), and to the url (and its a valid url).
now it has become a fiddeling, cd'ing, quoting, and rewriting task.
