;-) - but still trying just get the whole repository fails miserably because of this incompatbility.

Well, trying to get the whole repository is usually a bad idea, because of the way branches and tags work in Subversion: you'll get a full extraction of each...
That might not yet hurt for Genshi (but still, 3 tags and 4 branches + trunk = 8 different extractions of the code base). Don't even try doing that for Trac!
Nevertheless, I'm not saying that there's no point to this ticket. Probably what's needed is a os-specific prefix somewhere (/contrib-MacOSX ?) to make explicit that the checkout is not needed for other platforms.

That was the whole point of the ticket - the user looks what is available specifies contrib and will get a neat suprise message from the svn tool he uses. This even leaves the working copy locked.
So if there are are more contribs put in under contrib - what is the supposed logic? Maybe just use filenames that are valid on all platforms, even if I can't use those files due to missing editor or whatever?

- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
I don't see a way to fix this without comprising the quality of the TextMate plugin (the file names are used for display in the app).
I also don't really think it's that important whether you can check out the whole repository on windows. Just check out the parts you want.
TextMate for windows? Now that would be interesting ;)
