R devel - Feb 2008 - dir.create in 2.7.0dev (PR#10765)

Hi

I have some problems to create severeal directories at the same time

dir2 = "C:/00test000/test/test1"
dir.create(dir2, showWarnings = TRUE, recursive = TRUE)

It works in 2.6.2 but not in 2.7.0dev
I use Windows, R 2.7.0 (2008-02-15 r44484)

Best regards
Dominik

1) You were expressly asked not to use R-bugs for unreleased versions of 
R. See e.g. http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html

2) This does work, but at the moment you have to use Windows ("\\")
file
separators.

You really shouldn't expect all the convenience features to be working in 
development versions of R which are well off release.  A note to R-devel 
that you missed something is fine: to misuse R-bugs is 'unkind'.

And without knowing what existed before, this is not reproducible.
