Hi Stefan,

I agree that problem is important and should be fixed somehow, but
committed fix is wrong IMHO:
1. svn_fs__canonicalize_abspath is for FS path canonicalization, not
for disk path
2. fs->path is not absolute path, so you may get different keys for
same repository accessed but different path relative path
3. On Windows path names is case insensitive and repository can be
accessed using 'C:\REPO' and 'C:\repo' path names. Converting path to
upper case because Windows performs different normalization like
removing trailing dot and etc. Reimplementing this logic in Subversion
will be very hard.
