Description

Ported from: https://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2018-03/0115.shtml.

Running on Windows from PowerShell:

PS > svn co file://D:\Entwicklung\svn-repos\scm-svn-test-at-sign .
svn: E235000: In file 'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.9.7\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_client\checkout.c' line 87: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url, scratch_pool))

PS > D:\Entwicklung\Programme\svn-1.10.0-alpha3\svn.exe co file://D:\Entwicklung\svn-repos\scm-svn-test-at-sign .
svn: E235000: In file '..\..\..\subversion\libsvn_client\checkout.c' line 88: assertion failed (svn_uri_is_canonical(url, scratch_pool))

I know that the URL should start with file:///, but I would expect something like "invalid URL". The assert failed isn't really helpful to the user.
