Hello Julian,
I mostly agree with the patch. The appc.xml change is correct, but the
ch02.xml patch is incorrect. Here's what I get on Win2K SP4, 0.27.0
(r6715):
K:\>svnadmin create repos
H:\>svn co "file:///K|/repos" w
svn: Bogus URL
svn: URL `file:///K|/repos' is not properly URI-encoded
H:\>svn co "file:///K:/repos" wc
Checked out revision 0.
So, this part of the diff should be dropped:
-$ svn checkout file:///X|/path/to/repos
+C:\> svn checkout "file:///X|/path/to/repos"
And in the following paragraphs, the first one should be removed too:
+ <para>In the second syntax, you need to quote the URL so that
+ the vertical bar character is not interpreted as a
pipe.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that a URL uses ordinary slashes even though the
native
+ (non-URL) form of a path on Windows uses backslashes.</para>
+
Have a nice day !
François
