That's an even bigger can of worms; we don't even guarantee that for paths in the WC or in the repository, last time I looked we just blindly used whatever form the underlying OS or apr-iconv conversion functions supplied. And I recall problems with Mac OS X because of that. It would indeed be nice if we guaranteed to have all paths internally and in the repository and in hook scripts in form-C, *and* convert to whatever the OS expects in the WC. Frankly this involves pendantic fiddling that I for one would not be up to dealing with right now ... -- Brane
