Once again ... this is intentional for compatibility with Windows
browsers. When the initial Windows port happened (some 12 years ago
IIRC), all browsers on Windows would only accept file:// URLs in this
format (Mozilla accepted the correct file:///X:/, too, but converted to
the pipe form). I can only guess at the reason why someone decided that
doing this was a good idea, but this is what Internet Explorer did,
others followed suit, and Subversion adjusted its output accordingly --
otherwise Windows users couldn't have copied svn output into a browser's
address bar.
Both svn and the test suite on Windows still use this format for file://
URLs, and IE still accepts it, although it displays local file paths as
filenames, not URLs, and it also accepts the correct format with the colon.
The test suite should account for this, so your failing test indicates a
bug in the test suite. Are you running the 1.7 tests with a 1.6 build?
Could be that in the course of 1.7 development, someone noticed that
Windows browsers now conform to published standards with regard to URL
syntax and decided to do remove the exception for file:// URLs on Windows.
