So, nobody to enlighten me about the URL problem?

I'm not sure what light is throwable here.

The simple explanation here is that ra_local (svn_ra_local__split_URL)
removes the file:// part of the URL, which leaves an absolute path.
Then it starts searching down the absolute path, trying to open a
repository at each path component.  Once it's able to open a
repository, it assumes the remaining path is one which exists *within*
the repository.

Should this function somehow be looking for windows drive letters?
Should APR be helping out here somehow (I hope?)
