Bug Description
Affects: bzr 0.9, Win32 native.
Attempting to use a UNC path (//servername/
A workaround is to map a drive to the UNC path, but that is far from ideal (UNC paths may not be perfect, but they at least get around the 26-letter drive letter limitation and reduce the scope for collisions).
This bug doesn't seem to affect the cygwin version (presumably it uses the _posix_ versions of the local_path functions, which (accidentally?) allow the //servername/
The fix will also need to change _win32_

this is a bug, and patches are welcome. Probably the best thing is to use: 'file://host/path' rather than using 'file:/ ////host/ path'.
