I was going to write
"Of course it is. Why would you expect it to be otherwise?"
but then I read the documentation (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
nightly/en/
svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.invoking)
and now I understand your confusion. With no -r parameter on Unix,
you use the absolute path. I don't know how that would translate to
Windows. I *guess* it probably looks on the C drive.

That's probably for the best anyway. It means you can move the
repository around and URLs are a bit shorter.
