Okay, I was proposing to make this "svn ls ^/" syntax work - but it already works, which, however, I failed to realize because on Windows, you have to put the command in double quotes as the cmd.exe shell uses the caret character for its own purposes (line continuation), which made me think that the syntax is not yet supported.

Shells can be tricky.
