svn_client_get_wc_root() issues (Python)

[Jean-François Doyon]

Hi all,

Apparently this function should return the local abs path to the root of
the WC, given a path to a file/dir within said WC.

It however seems to only work on the root itself, anything below raises an
error.

Note the first example below works ('content' the root of the WC), and the
second, for a file within it ('index.html'), fails!

Yes, the WC is clean and in good state, .svn is there, things are
committed, TortoiseSVN shows the illustrated icons, etc.

libsvn and bindings are directly from VisualSVN, on Windows obviously.

Do I need to setup my context further? Or is this a bug? (Did not see
anything in the issue tracker)

Details below ... thanks!

Forgot to mention:

If your script needs wcrootpath as a windows-style path,

Ah yes, one should use canonical internal style paths, of course ... thank
you!
