Description

On a FreeBSD 8.2/amd64 box, if I build svn using the serf RA library, I get an assertion fail (and 
core dump) when accessing a particular remote repository.  When I recompile svn using neon, I 
do not get this error:

[root@yertle]# svn ls http://svn.redports.org/virtualbox
Assertion failed: (svn_fspath__is_canonical(parent_fspath)), function svn_fspath__is_child, file 
subversion/libsvn_subr/dirent_uri.c, line 2467.
Abort (core dumped)

FTR, you can compile svn with both neon and serf and switch between them
via --config-option=servers:global:http-library=$libname .

I can reproduce your assertion on a linux box using serf 1.0.0 and
svn, version 1.8.0-dev (under development)
  compiled Dec 12 2011, 11:45:23.
Could you file an issue, please, and assign it to the 1.8.0 milestone?

Thanks!

Daniel
