I do not personally think it is too much of a restriction if we said we only allow tags using letters from [-a-zA-Z0-9.] (yes I am trying to be controversial by not allowing even latin-1 names). Even without going that far, if we just said we do not allow shell metacharacters in tagnames (i.e. assuming UTF-8 encoded pathnames, non-ascii part of unicode character space is allowed), I suspect things will get much simpler to handle. The troublesome tags Martin's repository had were autocreated with cvsimport. That is something we could easily fix (I think we already do certain tagname munging). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Wed Oct 12 15:30:35 2005
