I have a one-line fix for this issue, which I've tested by hand:

}
]]]
I don't have an automated regression test. Should I go ahead and commit the
fix anyway, and propose for backport to 1.8 and 1.9?
(The bug was introduced in 1.8.11.)
This bug arose because svn_user_get_homedir() returns a non-canonical path
if the environment variable 'HOME' has a non-canonical value. Our APIs
should return canonical paths. A better fix would be to do so, perhaps like
this:

Alternatively, perhaps, bump the API to svn_user_get_homedir2() and leave
the non-canonical version as it is; but I think that's a worse idea.
What does anybody say?
