Hi,
it seems that
svnlook cat
swallows byte order marks (e.g. \xEF\xBB\xBF) from committed files. Therefore
it is difficult to check for the presence or absence of BOMs in commit hooks.
Can anyone confirm that this is a bug in Subversion (at least in version:
1.7.7)?

The md5 sum of the working copy and the output of svnlook cat are the same.
hexdump shows that the byte order mark is actually there. It seems that the
shell constructs i used stripped off the bom.
Thank you very much for your help, Michael and Daniel.
Alex
