svn: Can't recode string

[Kenneth Porter <sh...@sewingwitch.com>]

My vendor branch contains some files with a character in the name that 
under Windows looks like "...". When attempting to check out the tree on 
Linux, I get "Can't recode string", which apparently means the character 
can't be converted from its internal-to-svn Unicode format to whatever the 
current Linux encoding is. What's the "correct" solution for this?

I don't really care what the character is expanded to. I just want to 
execute a merge and commit on the server to save the bandwidth it would 
take to do this on the Windows client.

Filenames are stored as UTF8 in the repository.  The correct solution is
to figure out a Linux locale capable of representing this particular
filename, and then set that locale.
