 * @file svn_dirent_uri.h
 * @brief A library to manipulate URIs and directory entries.
 *
 * This library makes a clear distinction between directory entries (dirents)
 * and URIs where:
 *  - a dirent is a path on (local) disc or a UNC path (Windows)
 *    examples: "/foo/bar", "X:/temp", "//server/share"
 *  - a URI is a path in a repository or a URL
 *    examples: "/trunk/README", "http://hostname/svn/repos"
 *
 * This distinction is needed because on Windows we have to handle some
 * dirents and URIs differently. Since it's not possible to determine from
 * the path string if it's a dirent or a URI, it's up to the API user to
 * make this choice. See also issue #2028.
 *
 * Nearly all the @c svn_dirent_xxx functions expect paths passed into them
 * to be in canonical form.  The only functions which do *not* have such 
 * expectations are:
 *
 *    - @c svn_dirent_canonicalize()
 *    - @c svn_dirent_is_canonical()
 *    - @c svn_dirent_internal_style()
 *    - @c svn_dirent_local_style()
 *
 * ### TODO: add description in line with svn_path.h, once more functions
 * are moved.
 * ### END TODO
