If you want to put it that way, yes, but I' note that forward slash is a valid
file separator char on Windows, so the half-breed part seems inaccurate.
Unusual for a Windows client, perhaps.

To restate things in case it is unclear, all I want is an option to have the svn
win32 command line client output forward slashes instead of backward slashes.

Aside, the cygwin cvs client outputs forward slashes but performs the cr-lf
conversion in the directory is mounted in text mode.

Thanks,
