People coming from CVS or Subversion will expect an implicit dot.
But if you say that Subversion's experience with this has been poor,
then I'm happy to adapt.  I'm unsure how to best document this.
The fact that you even can specify "." as a path is not obvious.

I don't understand the issues well enough to have an informed opinion
here.
