svn import failed with invalid UTF-8 sequence

[Miguel Rentes <mi...@efacec.pt>]

Hi everyone!
 
I've trying to do a svn import into a new svn repository and I get the
error
 
svn: Valid UTF-8 data
(hex:)
followed by invalid UTF-8 sequence
(hex: ab 4e 65 77)
 
and this is because I have in my project a folder name <New Symbol
Library>. I must have it in my svn repository, so how can I can do an
import without subversion aborting the svn import?
 
Thanks in advance,

Is the LANG environment variable on your client set to the correct  
value for your client's operating system? Subversion needs this  
environment variable set so it knows how to convert data like  
filenames from whatever your OS provides to the UTF-8 format  
Subversion uses internally.
