Re: [9fans] experimental change for devmnt to deal with spaces

[FJ Ballesteros <nemo@gsyc.escet.urjc.es>]

I saw it more like using two different characters,
and not like changing the meaning of space. 

I'll think about it, but I sincerelly think that
'a x' causes much more problems than a?x, since
for example something like

ls | dosomething

would make dosomething think that a file name with
spaces on it is '/a/b x' instead of /a/b x.
In fact, I think that's what happen with the
'chk file I had to remove to avoid confussing replica.

Perhaps I could see what I may be missing after
gaining more experience with the changed/broken mount driver,
or, if you happen to have some time, you could drop me a line
with some of the bad effects you see. I just can't see them, sorry.
