Handling plus signs in directory names

[Zé <jo...@gmx.com>]

I've been using subversion on a directory tree which has quite a lot of 
directories that start off with a plus sign and I'm getting error 
messages and problems committing changes which I never experienced before.

Are plus signs in directory names handled well by subversion?

The errors I've mentioned in the previous post were being thrown both 
through the shell (linux) and TortoiseSVN (windows).

At the moment I can't provide more information, as I've been 
experiencing these problems with a SVN repository at my workplace and I 
wasn't able to replicate these issues on a test repository created locally.

It's quite possibly that the errors I was stumbling on had absolutely 
nothing to do with plus signs in directory names.  I'll report back if I 
manage to replicate this issue or if I stumble abain on one of those 
error messages.


Best regards,

In those cases problems often occurs because those sign are
interpreted by the shell and not directly a problem for Subversion.
Therefore you should provide some more details about who exactly you
are committing, Shell vs. TortoiseSVN or any other app for example,
the specific commands and folder names you use, the errors you get and
of course what you mean by "never experienced before", e.g. did
commits with the same commands or whatever ever worked on the same
folders etc.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
