It's curious that it would print "file:\\\g:\..." in the error
message, since I thought slashes should always be forward slashes in
a URL, and indeed you used forward slashes when specifying the URL.
Under what user does svnserve run? Does this user have permission to
read the repository files? Does this user have access to the G:
volume label? (They're per-user, aren't they?)
If that doesn't help, I could sure use the help of a Windows expert
here, because I'm running out of ideas. :)
