non-ascii chars in filenemes...

Please forgive me if this is a known problem.
Adding a file with a name that contains non-ascii characters for example
the Swedish characters å,ä,ö does horrible things to the repository.

root@echelon #svn add ö

svn_error: #21007 : <XML data was not well-formed>
  Error reporting added item `ö'
Exit 1
root@echelon #svn status

svn_error: #21007 : <XML data was not well-formed>
  read_entries: xml parser failed.

svn_error: #21007 : <XML data was not well-formed>

It's a known problem, but thanks for reminding us.  See related
IssueZilla issues 541 and 494.

As several others have pointed out, this issue is already open (I opened
it quite a while ago, when I was bitten by it).

I still consider myself on the hook to fashion a decent patch for this,
don't worry. ;-) My time has been sucked up recently due to a recent
layoff, so once that's resolved (see shameless plug below), I'll be back
to deciphering libxml. ;-) My apologies to everyone for not getting a
patch in any sooner.

(Shameless plug: I'm currently seeking permanent or contract work in and
around the Chicago western suburbs, or virtually if it's an option. Senior-
level UNIX and network management experience, involved in various online
development communities, yadda yadda yadda. My full resume is at
http://esm.logic.net/personal/resume/ if I sound like someone who can help
you out. Available immediately for work or LAN parties. ;-)

Well, there's an issue (#541) filed for problems regarding "filenames with
international characters in them" and I think your description matches that:
