Our FAQ should probably say that running a Subversion repository on
Win98 is a problem, not on Windows in general.

However, I'm puzzled as to how you deduced this from Han the Man's
quote above -- the fact that Subversion clients are running on Windows
says nothing about where the repository is located :-). Windows
clients talking to a Unix server is a very common arrangement.

Simple -- post a patch to www/project_faq.html. HACKING gives
guidelines about submitting patches, yeah.

Thanks,
