Absolute path under Windows for password-db directive

[Ben Martel <be...@symmetric.co.nz>]

Y'all,

I am trying to set an absolute path (using Windows) for the password-db
directive in the config file. E.g. I want to say:

	password-db = f:/xxxxx/yyyy/zzzz

The comments in the file say that to be absolute I need to preprend a "/" to
the filename, as I would in Unix. No matter what combination I try svnserve
always comes back bitch'n that it can't find the file!

Any ideas on what the correct syntax for this is?

Ben,

I believe the intent of the book was pointing to a *nix type of OS.  For 
Windows, put in your actual drive letter and path.  If there are any 
spaces in your path, make sure to enclose the whole path in quotation marks.

Regards,
Frank
