Having dealt with the composed/decomposed problem on Macs myself in a script
the last few days, I totally agree that SubVersion should support the
composed/decomposed problem. As far as I know Mac OS X normalized to form D
even if you feed form C. So it would be propably be the logical way to use
form C in SubVersion code because we know it already behaves correct on at
least Windows and Linux.
