Re: [PATCH] #7 OS400/EBCDIC Port: Make svn_io_copy_file() CCSID insensitive.

As always, thanks for the education. Other than OS/400, is Cygwin the only
environment where there is a difference?

My only exposure to using these system calls is on OS/400 (via RPG programs
no less) so I am just used to this "feature" of OS/400. The high-level
OS/400 "CPY" command even has a Text/Binary option.

Well maybe Max will try to get this into APR. That will be a long time
before it trickles down to Subversion though. Can this patch be reviewed
in the meantime? Perhaps it can be tweaked (by Max) so that it could be
used for Cygwin too so that he does not have to patch APR for Cygwin? A
luxury we do not have for OS/400.

Thanks

Mark
