I fixed that comment.

I mean: I think we should specify in the API doc-string (or just
implicitly) that it is "undefined" for non-canonical input. The
implementation could return FALSE, but I don't think we should be mixing
tests for implementation details with tests for promised behaviour. If
we do, it then becomes very hard to understand the test suite later:
"Why are we testing for THAT?"

I mean: is there any reason why we should not define
svn_dirent_get_absolute() as treating a UNC path as "absolute" and
therefore returning it unchanged? And if we agree on that, then we
implement it, and then that exception in the test above can go away.
