"failure during string recoding"

Hello, 

I use 0.29.0.2mdk version of SVN on my linux box, both client and
server, and another version on a windows box. Since this afternoon,
while commiting binary file of 760kb, I receive this error message :
"failure during string recoding"
It seems my repository is broken. Some filenames contains french
characteres like é
How can I do to correct this? 

Thanks 
Cédric

I had the same problem

Update to the 1.1.0 version. Tho old ones could not handle accented 
filenames properly. You have to dump and reload your repository. Edit 
the dump file manually and make sure that the filenames are in utf-8 and 
not in 8859-1.

Cheers

With the help of Lübbe Onken, wich confirm to me the problem was on
accented characters, I test a workaround : delete the folder
containing such characters, burn them, and re-add this folder : it
work. I will do the update to the 1.10 soon.

Thanks 
Cédric
