These cases are, believe it or not, completely different. On your Mac, the shell expands the wildcards. On Windows, Subversion is linked with a library that's shipped with Visual Studio (setargv.obj) that expands the wildcards in the arguments. It looks like something strange is happening during that wildcard expansion. It would be best to report this to whoever built the Subversion binaries; it might be that their setargv.obj is corrupt somehow. In any case, there's no code in Subversion proper for expanding wildcards in the command-line arguments. -- Brane
