You know after thinking about it I could "fix" this behavior. I'm
working on my revised patch right now and I think the trailing slash
workaround would work if I returned "@" for no peg revision found
instead of "" in my new fangled svn_opt__split_arg_at_peg_revision()
function. This would mean that every single target coming out of the
svn_client_args_to_target_array() would have a peg revision, but some
of them would be blank.
This actually changes the current CLI behavior (in that the trailing
slash thing would not have worked before), but is it something that we
want to include?
