As noted on IRC, I fixed the assertion in r965523. But note that this
doesn't make the scenario work as libsvn_wc can't determine if two different
urls point to the same repository.
I would recommend using repository relative urls for file externals, until
we have a new and proper design on how we want to handle file externals.
