Will subversion accept usernames such as [email protected]?

We are using svn+ssh with public key authentication as per the official svn guide's ssh tips and tricks section.

Basically, we pass svnserve with the --tunnel-user={username} command, will subversion be OK with that username having @ and . in it?

Thanks.
