I did it once, because I didn't realise it would cause problems, and it continues to bite me today. To be fair - SVN can handle all sorts of non-ASCII characters, spaces, etc. so I didn't think that punctuation would be problematic. They're valid on any filesystem in current use, and I write hook scripts in Python, so string processing doesn't fall over with odd characters. — Jason
