No. Pier doesn't mix the difference between Unicode (sequence of characters) and the mapping of those characters to fixed or variable length encoded bytestreams. The fact that character 65 in Unicode is in many encodings mapped to the byte value 65 is for convenience only, and that fact should be ignored. > Our SVN uses UTF-8 as the default charset (or encoding) or not? Subversion uses binary data, and is agnostic to any encodings in the data (or so they say). AFAIU, marking files as text only deals with the line endings and how the diff mails are generated. The --encoding argument applies to commit messages. Paths, URLs/URIs has additional encoding requirements. Cheers Niclas
