Charset Weirdness
Hi,
there are three computers:
System A ist Linux, running mod_dav_svn
System B is Windows XP, running TortoiseSVN
System C is Windows XP, running Cygwin/svn
When committing filenames containing umlauts from B to A, an update on C
(from A) is not possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ svn up
svn: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding:
svn: ....../begr?\195?\188ndung.txt
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is this a (know) bug? How to fix or workaround this (not committing
umlauts is not an option).
Sebastian

Read about setting the locale properly, especially the "character set
conversion errors" box:

From my experience cygwin has always problems handling Umlaute.
I suggest you either use TortoiseSVN or the native windows SVN build on
machine C - for the extra benefit that you do not need an extra shell.
