Do you have IPv6 connectivity?  If so, can you please tell me what you
see for the fifth line of output from:
  svn ls http://svn.spodhuis.org/svn/scratch-db/trunk
?

On Unix, the output is:
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
foo bar/
foo"bar/
foo'bar/
foo-bar/
foo\bar/
foo_bar/
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------

So clearly \ is a valid character in a directory name for svn; I can
update files inside such a directory, etc.

I suspect that we need an _svn_osfixup() filter after the svn command,
where that would, for the Windows OSes (I forget the values of $OSTYPE
there) apply changes.  But before that can be written, what 'foo\bar'
maps to needs to be determined, so that we can reverse it.

I'm somewhat surprised that this works, without the 'tr' being inside
the $(...), but know little enough about completion.
