[...] The only problem i've noticed with svn is the tab character. I've been naming a lot of stuff with tabs to line everything up nicely.

And tab actually is ASCII, so my proposed transliteration wouldn’t have removed that -- none of the default items have a tab in the filename, so I can’t use our repository as an example of it working.

But having a problem with tab is rather suspicious, as tab is not a crazy glyph, it is ASCII character 9, which every file system should support.

How does the problem manifest itself?

I get:
svn: Invalid control character '0x09' in path 'Snippets/untitled        with tab.tmSnippet'

That's just when trying to add it to the repo.
