That would clarify things.  It would be nice to error or warn when a \ 
appears in the resulting path on Windows otherwise you could have 
problems due to different behaviour with a suitable subpaths resulting 
in hg picking up a different sub-repo and giving unknown revision 
warnings during the update.  I should say subtler problems since you can 
obviously redirect a sub-repo in .hgsub to a totally different one with 
subpaths anyway.
