Z/OS text files codepage translation

[Fulvio Cavarretta <fu...@primeur.com>]

Hi,
we are trying to use subversion client on a Z\OS open
edition environment (a Unix Like environment).
A part from compilation issues, I have a more crucial question: does svn
client take into account local codepage? Our fear is that text files are
checked out only UTF-8 format. Unluckily Z/OS works with ebcdic
codepage: is there any specific switch  that can be enabled (svn client
side) to force a specific codepage ?


Thanks in advance,
  Fulvio Cavarretta

Subversion stores log messages and filenames in the repository in  
UTF-8, but does not recode the contents of your files; they're stored  
in the repository with exactly the bytes you sent. Log messages and  
filenames are encoded to/from your local system's standards in  
accordance with the LANG environment variable, or equivalent.
