Valid UTF-8 data followed by invalid UTF-8 sequence

hi,

i got the message from svn (Version 1.5.2 (r32768))

svn: Auf gültige UTF-8 Daten
(hex:)
folgte eine ungültige UTF-8 Sequenz
(hex: c3 63 76 73) 

doing a checkout into my source tree. i have converted
a cvs repository into a svn dump and loaded it into my production svn repository. 

after the message and searching in the web i was a litte in ***panic***, maybe i have corrupted my svn repository.

i corrected some log messages, nothing helps. after reading
the message from karl fogl http://cia.vc/stats/author/kfogel?s_message=0 
i saw a subdirectory containing a non utf8 character in the directory name. this was the solution of my problem, i have renamed it and svn checkout worked fine. 


the interesting thing was, that my checkout did not affect this directory, because it was not unter cvs control and i don't want it do be controlled by svn. 

i think, that svn co reads the hole directory tree before doing the checkout.

maybe this message helps other people in the mail group.

best regards

christian

You should have been able to check out, without renaming the  
directory, by setting your LANG environment variable properly.
