    % ls -l `which svn`

So I installed this more than a year ago. Maybe it only is 1.3.0, I  
couldn’t find an option to make the svn executable itself give the  
version number.

If 1.3.1 “fixes” this, then clearly 1.3.0 had a bug, and TM shouldn’t  
be changed to cater to a bug in svn which was fixed more than a year  
ago.

But I don’t think this really is a bug, I would suspect this is  
something else. And as the problem is with a tab character, then it  
is not clear what exactly the “workaround” in TM should be, i.e. how  
many other ASCII characters could trigger this?

Did you set LC_CTYPE to utf-8? And is this a checkout of http:// 
textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/?

I tried to checkout this to both a BSD and a Linux server, both  
worked w/o problems (revision 130.)

But I need to know what lowest common denominator is -- that a tab  
character is excluded from this set, indicates that ASCII is not the  
lowest common denominator.
