Earnie has a very good point - GNU Arch faces the same problem with a limited set of tools - patch, diff and tar. (Plus it's own internals of course). We've come to the conclusion that whilst fixing spaces-in-filenames, it would be sensible to address unicode glyphs at the same time - so as to prevent auditing code twice (once to escape spaces, once to espace unicode). It's a big project no matter how you look at it... Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
