I have heard different opinions on whether or not Windows "supports"
'/' as a path separator. It seems like there is some support, but
many programs don't cope well, and it troubles some users. So on the
whole it's probably better to use os.path.sep externally.
In internal-use files we should try to use /, so that they can be
moved between unix and windows.
For things like .bzrignore that are edited by the user we probably
want to accept either separator on all platforms.
