Keyword expansion on Unicode text files
Hi, what should I do in order to make keyword expansion on Unicode text files working (e.g. .inf files)? - BOM is FF FE (used Notepad Save As --> Unicode to create the file) - There is only the svn:keywords property on the file Regards, hfrmobile _ Das neue Windows 7: Finden Sie den richtigen PC.

That said, you might be able to store them as UTF-8, which is another full Unicode-capable format and even more common than the used UTF-16. Using UTF-8, keywork expansion simply works.

RE: Keyword expansion on Unicode text files
Thank you for your response! It shouldn't be a unresolvable programming issue to support keyword expansion for Unicode text files? --hfrmobile > Subject: Re: Keyword expansion on Unicode text files > From: subversion-20...@ryandesign.com > Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:02:32 -0600 > CC: users@subversion.apache.org > To: harald-rene.fla...@hotmail.com > > > On Jan 14, 2010, at 13:15, Harald-René Flasch wrote: > > > what should I do in order to make keyword expansion on Unicode text files > > working (e.g. .inf files)? > > > > - BOM is FF FE (used Notepad Save As --> Unicode to create the file) > > - There is only the svn:keywords property on the file > > Sorry, AFAIK there still isn't a way to make svn:keywords work in UTF-16 > files.

I have no idea how complicated this would be to resolve, but my guess is that it's non-trivial or it would have never been an issue in the first place. R.
