I'm not sure which of two things you mean:

(a) MS-Windows (and others?) don't like a trailing (back)slash on directory
name parameters to most commands. If that's the case, we should avoid printing
one when printing a local path on those operating systems.

(b) Slashes should be backslashes in local paths on MS-Windows.

These "svn diff --summarize" paths don't strictly represent local paths, though
it's often convenient to say that they do.

These are issues for the whole of the command-line client, and we should
certainly consider including at least "svn list" in their solutions.
