[TSVN] UNC path

Now that svn 1.1 fsfs backends support sharing repositories across
networks without a server bottleneck, this has become our preferred
approach.

Over on the svn mailing list we determined that svn command line tools
"support" the syntax
   file:///\server/share/repos
for accessing repositories on Windows shares. Other uglier URIs that
seem to work include
   file:///%5cserver/share/repos
   file:///%2f%3F/UNC/server/share/repos

However, in TortiseSVN, the UNC URIs above don't work. In the simpler
cases, the '\' is converted to '/' and svn throws it away and tries to
access the local drive. In the '?' case, TortiseSVN gets kinda
bonkers, e.g., in the Repo Browser window.

Are there any known work arounds for accessing repositories with UNC
names?

Are there any plans to add UNC repo naming as a new feature?
