Description

(This is a tentative bug report: I do not have complete reproduction info and cannot verify it. It was reported to me via WANdisco (their ref: SVNB-2446) from a customer who is not pursuing it further.)

A user checked in some directory trees created by some tooling (unspecified). When they try to export the tree they got a failure from Windows:

Error : “Can’t create directory”. ”The system cannot find the path specified”.

This happens when the repository path directories have trailing space(s) in them. For instance:

"a/b /c /d"

The export will create "a" and "a/b " but then will fail to create the "c " directory.
