This test failure in subversion/tests/libsvn_subr/target-test.py is
caused by a change in path.c:get_path_ancestor_length to make it support
that 'H:/' and 'H:/A' have a common part 'H:/'.

Unfortunately, this function is used for URLs too, in the tests at
least, so now it starts finding 'file:///' is a common part for
'file:///A' and 'file:///B'.

The comment of function get_path_ancestor_length says this:

libsvn_subr/path.c line 505:
  * This function handles everything except the URL-handling logic
  * of svn_path_get_longest_ancestor, and assumes that PATH1 and
  * PATH2 are *not* URLs.

Based on this comment I conclude that the tests in target-tests.py
(which are unit tests) are testing some behavior which the function
doesn't support.

So, what do I do:
- remove the tests 6, 7, 8 & 9 from target-test.py.
or
- fix the function get_path_ancestor_length so it supports getting the
common ancestor of URLs, even if it's never used in Subversion?
