Branko Čibej created SVN-4919:
---------------------------------
Summary: Running svn with --xml may emit XML with invalid
characters
Key: SVN-4919
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4919
Project: Subversion
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cmdline client
Affects Versions: all
Reporter: Branko Čibej
This is demonstrated by {{prop_tests.py/xml_unsafe_author2()}}, where we have
an author name that contains a {{\b}} backspace control character. {{svn list
--xml}} emits that author name, making the output invalid.
We should consider extending the client's XML schema so that it can encode such
strings in an XML-safe manner, by adding an "encoding" attribute to the
containing element. The encoding could be base-64, which is suitable for
parsing, or quoted-printable, which is also suitable for human readers.
