chinese files names problem with os X

[Sean Moss-Pultz <se...@moss-pultz.com>]

I'm using the command line client (v1.0) from panther and connecting to 
Subversion 1.0 (Windows 2k Server). On my Desktop (XP) files names with 
chinese characters can checkout with no issues. But under my powerbook 
I get the following error:

subversion/libsvn_subr/utf.c:173: (apr_err=22)
svn: Can't recode string

while trying to access a chinese named file.

I googled and found this past message:

http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svn/archive-2003-07/2049.shtml

So I guess something is strange with my current locale. But I'm 
confused because if I copy files not under version control I have no 
problems reading chinese characters.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Sean

Mac OS X uses UTF-8 encoding for filenames in the BSD APIs. You should 
set your locale to UTF-8. (I'm using en_US.UTF-8 - you should use an 
appropriate variant...)
