SVN 1.9.5 & 1.1.10-dev: checkout.c line 87: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url, scratch_pool))

Hello,

I'm not sure whether this problem is known, but I can reproduce it with SVN
1.9.5 and 1.10.0-dev-r1771118 clients.

SVN fails with assertion failed error when I run a `svn checkout` command
providing file://C:\repos argument on Windows. Note that there are only two
slashes after file: schema.
[[[
svn: E235000: In file '..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_client\checkout.c' line
87: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url, scratch_pool))
]]]

Here is a command that should fail:
[[[
svn co file://C:\repo
]]]

I guess that I should get an error in this case:
[[[
svn: E170000: Illegal repository URL
]]]
