Subversion commands seem to use svn_client_args_to_target_array2 to canonicalize arguments. It does something like the following: 1. split at @PEG revision 2. check if it looks like a URL (svn_path_is_url). If so: i. urlencode characters with high bit set (svn_path_uri_from_iri) ii. urlencode some other special characters (svn_path_uri_autoescape) (that is: [ "<>\\^`{|}]) iii. (on Windows) convert backslashes to forward slashes iv. complain if there are any '..' (svn_path_is_backpath_present) v. make url scheme and hostname lowercase, strip default portnumber, strip trailing '/', collapse '/'-es including urlencoded %2F, strip '.' and '%2E' components, make drive letter in file:/// URLs uppercase, urlencode uri-special characters (svn_uri_canonicalize) Otherwise: i. canonicalize case, handle '..' and '.' components, and make path separators into '/' (apr_filepath_merge(APR_FILEPATH_TRUENAME)) ii. strip trailing '/', collapse '/'-es except in UNC paths, strip '.' components, make drive letter uppercase (svn_dirent_canonicalize) iii. deal with "truepath collisions" (unwanted case canonicalizations) iv. reject .svn and _svn directories Maybe we can use apr_filepath_merge() to avoid reinventing the wheel? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
