So you want a client that is a half-breed mutant of Windows and Unix?  You
want the forward slashes from Unix, but the line endings from Windows?

If you want to put it that way, yes, but I' note that forward slash is a valid 
file separator char on Windows, so the half-breed part seems inaccurate. 
Unusual for a Windows client, perhaps.

To restate things in case it is unclear, all I want is an option to have the svn 
win32 command line client output forward slashes instead of backward slashes.

Aside, the cygwin cvs client outputs forward slashes but performs the cr-lf 
conversion in the directory is mounted in text mode.

Thanks,
