locale issues on mac os X
Hi,
I'm having the following issue:
Recently a user added files with accents to the repository from a
windows machine and since then I get the following issue. When I do "svn
st" on the command line I see:
$ svn st
? Functional Analysis/Internal Documents Client/Profil des
compétences spécifiques.doc
! Functional Analysis/Internal Documents Client/Profil des
compétences spécifiques.doc
In other words: svn st does not seem to recognize that the file it
misses is really on the filesystem.
I can perfectly go to that file and open it.
My system has:
Mac os x 10.5.7
subversion client 1.6.3 (r38063)
In my .profile I have set the following environment variable:
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
$ locale
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=
I'm sure I have been able to store accented files in the past, but now
this seems to be problematic and I don't understand why...
I've tried setting LANG to en_US.UTF-8 as well, to no avail.
On the debian system with the same LC_CTYPE set we do not have this
issue. Note that we use svn client version 1.4.4 (r25188). I can't
upgrade it that easily to see if it also starts failing with 1.6.3...
Kind regards,
Bart De Gruyter

Hi Ryan,
Thanks a lot for this hint. I've installed the subversion client on
macports with
sudo port install subversion +unicode_path
as you suggested.
It works properly now.
There was still one exception where it did not seem to work, but I've
renamed that file so it does not contain the "special" characters anymore.
The exception was:
"Functional Analysis/GPO - grille critères d'évaluation.xls"
Thanks a lot for the answer, it solved my issues.
I also found the following references via your answer:
http://groups.google.com/group/versions/browse_thread/thread/0bb7c64b800715e1/c7fc43fa25ce7808?lnk=raot

http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2007-07/0476.shtml
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/tr15-29.html
For completeness I would like to add that I am using my subversion
client on a Mac OS Extended Case sensitive, Journaled filesystem.
Kind regards,

That is this issue, and is not related to locales but to the way in
which Mac OS X stores UTF-8 filenames on disk (decomposed) vs. the
way other OSes do so (composed):

If your Subversion is installed using MacPorts, you can rebuild it
using the +unicode_path variant to get one possible fix for this
issue, though the fix may have side-effects.
