Newlines in pathnames

[Max Bowsher <ma...@ukf.net>]

Currently, newlines in pathnames won't be rejected outright by svn, but the 
break all of our supposedly parsable outputs *including dumpfiles*.

I propose that we forbid "\n" and "\r" in filenames everywhere in 
subversion.

Thoughts?

Max.

I recently posted an (incomplete) patch that tries to do that (amongst
other things).  See the thread "[RFC] Checking paths are legal".

Kind regards,

Jon
