> I've got a dump from svn < 1.6 and there are revision with path names, which are
> not encoded in UTF-8.
> svn fails with:
> svnadmin: Path '...' is not in UTF-8.
> It seems to be a rare problem, but some svn clients did not correctly encode
> path names in UTF-8 and svn < 1.6 did accept those revisions.
> The only known workaround yet is to take a (hex)editor and find and replace
> those failing revisions.
> This is hard to do on "big" dumps and i don't know how many failing path names
> my dump got ... may be a neverending story perhaps if there are many "incorrect"
> revisions.
> It would be good if svnadmin or some other tool can provide some options to do
> the recoding automatically by replacing those chars with a "best" guess or some
> default value (may have to be provided by the user), to be able to load such
> dumps without having to edit it via editor.
