Re: Assertion Failure dialogs appear when attempting to open repository with bad URL

I don’t think we can really fix that url in the api by canonicalizing it to something completely different/unrelated, but the assertion makes it obvious that the caller can just see/check that the url is not going to work… just like values such as the empty string or strings with no scheme, that can't be canonicalized to a url either.

And that's what the svn_dirent_canonicalize() and svn_uri_canonicalize()
APIs are for.
Problem is: in that case they don't work:

$ svn list file:///c:Software/SourceCodeRepository

try that with an svn build from the 1.9.x branch and you'll get an
exception.
