I would imagine the significant differences are:

You'll need to look at the actual scripts to figure out why one Config is
detected as a directory in one case, but not another.
FWIW, I don't know about svn, but with cvs, adding a trailing slash causes
"cvs update" to behave in unexpected ways. It could be that the cvs
completion mode was written with that in mind, and the svn mode simply
copied the cvs code... Just a WAG.
