I think it is wrong for svn_opt_args_to_target_array2 to canonicalize the
paths, because they aren't paths, they are paths plus an optional peg
specification. There also is code to "canonicalize the case", which
obviously doesn't work if there is an @rev at the end of the "path".

Regarding the Issue at hand, it seems hackish, as philip pointed out, to
use a trailing slash to support filenames with @. Why don't we have an
escaping mechanism for this? (Rethorical question, of course.)
