In any standard Unix system, the locale is process-dependent. So, anyway, if you consider the locale, the source can change from one call to another. So, considering the locale only is definitely not a good idea. > So I think Subversion should continue trusting users with setting > their locale. It's simple. It works. No, it doesn't work. If the locale changes (what is allowed on any standard Unix system), a "svn up" breaks the working copy. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
