Hi

Thank you, worked. I thought that that third slash was there because the Linux 
path was not relative but absolute, hence that slash on the beginning :)

I would agree.

The pattern of the access in Subversion is:

protocol://host/directory

If you like to access a directory on the local machine you can write it:

protocol://localhost/directory...

If you use http you would write e.g.:

http://localhost/directory

If you access via file protocol, which means in other words on the local
machine you can omit the "localhost"

file://localhost/directory
which results in:
file:///directory

That's the reason why you have to write three slashes instead of
two....and if you are on linux/unix the part "/directory" has to be an
absolute path as you can imagine...

Kind regards.
