Hello, I'm not sure whether this problem is known, but I can reproduce it with SVN 1.9.5 and 1.10.0-dev-r1771118 clients.
SVN fails with assertion failed error when I run a `svn checkout` command providing file://C:\repos argument on Windows. Note that there are only two slashes after file: schema. [[[ svn: E235000: In file '..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_client\checkout.c' line 87: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url, scratch_pool)) ]]] Here is a command that should fail: [[[ svn co file://C:\repo ]]] I guess that I should get an error in this case: [[[ svn: E170000: Illegal repository URL ]]] -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team
