Calm down guys!

There is at least an inconsistency here, though I suspect it is all to
do with svnserve and nothing to do with TSVN.

I can enter 'http://svn.collab.net/repos/tortoisesvn' into repo browser
and see the contents of the TSVN repository. No trailing slash required
there, and no error message from the http server.

I can enter 'file:///c:/Temp/Repos4' into repo browser to look at one of
my test repositories, again with no trailing slash. Admittedly for
file:/// it is easy enough to distinguish files from folders.

I don't have an svn+ssh repo to test, but from the previous threads it
sounds like the behaviour is different. So if this is a problem, Craig
and Rainer, looks like you need to take your question to the SVN list
because TSVN just uses the standard interfaces provided by the SVN
libraries. Would that be right Stefan?
