I believe the new darcs doesn't have problems because it works around the default representation of filenames changing by setting the encoding to use explicitly to char8. Old darcs, if patched to build, could crash when trying to print filenames containing it can't represent (just a guess, but I was informed that it would be broken when asking upstream some time ago). -- Iain Lane [ iain@orangesquash.org.uk ] Debian Developer [ laney@debian.org ] Ubuntu Developer [ laney@ubuntu.com ] PhD student [ ial@cs.nott.ac.uk ]
