Issue 2011 describes a problem with working-copy paths.

UNC paths also don't work in repository URIs.

It would be nice if

file://host/path/to/repos

translated to UNC

\\host\path\to\repos

on Windows.

There may be some objection to putting a host name in the file spec; an
alternative is

file:////host/path/to/repos

but svn strips away one of the leading slashes.

Is it svn_path_canonicalize that is stripping away one of the leading
// in the UNC pathname? If so, perhaps svn_path_canonicalize could
be changed so that

  /* If this is an absolute path, then just copy over the initial
     separator character. */
  if (*src == '/')
    {
      *(dst++) = *(src++);
      absolute_path = TRUE;
    }

becomes

  /* If this is an absolute path, then just copy over the initial
     separator character. */
  if (*src == '/')
    {
      *(dst++) = *(src++);
      absolute_path = TRUE; /* not used ? */

      /* for Windows only!? a second slash means this is a UNC path */
      if (*src == '/')
        {
          *(dst++) = *(src++);
          UNC_path = TRUE; /* not used ? */
        }
    }
