I can give you a few examples of repositories which won't pass your cross-platform test. Here's one: add aux.c file to repository on Unix. Watch how you can't even open this repository on Windows. Same with NUL.txt or any other predefined reserved files on Windows. -- Dmitry Chestnykh _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
