We get the hostname from APR. Either Subversion or APR (depending on APR's API promises) should convert it to UTF-8 (or, as you say, punycode) before we attempt to use it as the property value. Another option: we could use the local IP address instead of the hostname. > (My thought is that if a non-ASCII hostname is > desired, the UTF-8 representation of the hostname should be encoded in > punycode [1] by the OS.
