18 years ago when Paul Burba and I were working on porting SVN to run on OS/400 this feature was a godsend. We would not have wanted EBCDIC bytes stored in the repository and it would have made it impossible to interoperate with any other platform. Not that this port was ever significant to the community, but we were glad it worked this way. To each his own I guess. Mark
