The glob is expanded by the shell, so svn sees
['svn', 'add', 'wc/B/@2.txt'],
so it parses out target 'wc/B/' with peg '2.txt' (this part is arguably
a bug), and stripping the slash off the end is normal (see
svn_dirent_canonicalize() in if you're curious).

Globs are expanded by the shell, so that's just another facet of the
original bug, whereby 'svn add' requires escaping '@' signs in
filenames. Feel free to file an issue about that, so we don't forget
it.

(But please check first if there is, or was, another issue for this.)
