Please assist.
This is "impossible" in the sense that 'svnlook cat' does not process the contents in any way, it just prints them to stdout. You're probably piping the output of 'svnlook cat' into some kind of program or script that validates them, and I suspect that script is interpreting the contents so that it lists the directory contents as you described. You should most likely look for the bug in your validation script. -- Brane
