svn list -v french date format issue


The following issue has been encountered on Windows XP (french) cmd prompt,
using 1.1.0-rc2 win32 binaries.

August is written "août" in french and the svn command line client cannot
support non ascii characters as û.

svn list -v svn://localhost/depot/fr/sample.txt
   20 me      8213 juin 14 11:39 sample.txt

and after committing some change on august, 30 :

svn list -v svn://localhost/depot/fr/sample.txt
svn:safe data:
"ao"
... was followed bu non-ASCII byte 251.

I have not seen any email referencing the issue even if it is rather high
priority (for french users at least).

Regards,
Guillaume

That error message can be caused by iconv being broken.  If iconv can't
translate the string Subversion uses a fallback routine that only handles
7-bit ASCII.  Is APR_ICONV_PATH set wrong (or not set)?

Kind regards,

Jon
