Hi All,

I'm trying to make a plan for migrating some of our source code to SVN and am 
looking at using externals to deal with some of our code that is shared between 
libraries.  In doing this I have come across the issue number 4073 (Assert on 
Windows absolute paths in svn:externals) which is preventing me from being able 
to map our externals to absolute paths (we are all Windows based machines here).

The link for the issue is below:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4073

Is anyone aware of any work arounds for issue number 4073?  I guess using 
relative paths is likely to work but that would require changes to a number of 
our projects that we would rather not tackle at this time.  Are there any 
special characters or special methods of formatting the path that I can use to 
get the externals to work?  If not does anyone have any idea about the 
timescales for the version in which this issue is likely to be resolved?


If any more details are needed then please just let me know.


Best Regards,
David
