Interestingly I can still access the blocked site, so looks like they've undone that (I'm on Telstra at the moment... Don't ask). Also interesting is that they just dismantled the filtering scheme in the budget overnight, so with any luck it goes away altogether. The ACL are not particularly happy about it though (but who cares about them).

As is linked in TFS, the filter list that some ISPs may have implemented is the Interpol one. Certainly not as broad-reaching as the original Conroy planned one.

There was a guy banned from a bus here in Canberra for watching porn on his phone. Mind you, he kept making a deal about it and sitting next to women so that they could see/hear it. Some people will already be doing this on planes, I see no need to enable more people to do it. "Now do I give her the ass, or the crotch" will have a whole new meaning

I was using it as a document repository. As such there were files that took on the titles of documents. It worked fine for the 5 years I was using Subversion on Linux and Windows. It worked fine while I was on Linux using Git (connecting back to the subversion repo). In order to make the change now I need to remove all existing files that are experiencing the problem and resubmit in the new location.... or I can just keep using Subversion without issue.

I certainly haven't named any new files with Unicode Characters (really its just 1 Unicode character, e acute), but the issue is there now, and if I ever need to revert to older documents/folders. I do use Git for a couple of new Repos, but not as extensively as I use subversion.

My main issue with Git was it's Unicode filename support under Windows. Quite frankly it's broken. You add and commit your "Unicode Filenames" fine in Linux or Windows, but if you ever check them out under Windows they are renamed to a weird character set and require being re-added and checked in with their new path.

SVN doesn't have this problem (using TortoiseGit and mSysGit vs TortoiseSVN). I stopped using Git after I encountered this and have reverted to using Subversion until this has been resolved. If I had some time I might look into it, but seeing as it seems to be a known issue in mSysGit and the underlying cygwin(?) libraries I doubt I'd ever manage to resolve this myself without breaking something else.

Personally I like the Git Workflow, especially the commit-early-commit-often mentality that I never managed to get to in svn. It's just a shame that I can't use it seamlessly on Windows to complement my use on Linux.
