Subversion uses the locale settings like LANG to determine the encoding. 
There are no Subversion options we can set from Subclipse that I am aware 
of.

I am cc:ing this to the Subversion users@ list in case anyone has other 
ideas. 

One thing you might try is experimenting with just the Subversion command 
line and your shell settings to see when there is or is not a problem. 
Also, if you are not using JavaHL within Subclipse, then switching to that 
*might* give better results.  No matter what you do, I think your locale 
will need to be set in the process that starts Eclipse.
