> _(This is a tentative bug report:_ _I do not have complete reproduction info_ _and cannot verify it. It was reported to me via WANdisco (their ref: SVNB-2446) from a customer who is not pursuing it further.)_
> A user checked in some directory trees created by some tooling (unspecified). When they try to export the tree they got a failure from Windows:
> {code:none}
> Error : “Can’t create directory”. ”The system cannot find the path specified”.
> {code}
> This happens when the repository path directories have trailing space(s) in them. For instance:
> {code:none}
> "a/b /c /d"
> {code}
> The export will create "a" and "a/b " but then will fail to create the "c " directory.
