Surely not all subversion users are english?
We are using plain-text `Basic` authentication (over https!) so subversion should surely be able to send the characters entered by the user? The browsers manage it OK (IE6/IE8 and Opera 9+ (shush!) for me), just TortoiseSVN and the packaged command line subversion version does this. Hmm, I'll try a different build to see if that makes a difference (when I get a chance to fiddle with the server again). ~ mark c
