Except it seems to me that sftp://localhost/autoexec.bat is not an
absolute path, since there is no way under that scheme to request both
C:\autoexec.bat
and
D:\myfile.txt

I would actually like to know that if I setup an SFTP server on windows,
I would actually be able to get access to windows files. (Though this
requires knowing what kind of path requests bzr needs to make for a
Windows SFTP server).

But I can see your point that there are different benefits to using a
Transport underneath the StubSFTPServer. (Especially testing the
permissions stuff)
