Bug found in svnserve.conf parser

Hi guys

I've just been moving a repository over from one server to another and
have found a bug in subversion, thanks to danielsh on IRC.
In plain English, the svnserve.conf file for one of my repositories
contained the following line:

    password-db = //etc/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/conf/svnserve_auth_file

Courtesy of some bad initial configuration years ago when the old
machine was running 1.5.1.

When this config file is used on the new server, the following error is
raised:

    svnserve: subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c:956: svn_dirent_join:
Assertion `svn_dirent_is_canonical(component, pool)' failed.

Daniel has asked me to pass on this message:

    add svn_dirent_canonicalize() somewhere in svnserve/read_config()

If you could update the software to report a human-readable error,
that'd really help.

Cheers!

Justin
