        Hi,

At this time I can't make a promise on this, but I'm trying to fix all/most
of the windows drive root issues for 1.7. (And I had this specific example
working on my pc)

Fixing this issue requires invasive changes through all our libraries
(especially libsvn_wc and libsvn_client), so it is impossible to get these
fixes in 1.6 as just another bugfix.

(The assertion will probably be replaced by a normal error in 1.6.1 if it
gets enough votes in time).

Thanks,
        Bert
