Hello,
I have noticed a behaviour with Subversion 1.5.1 (and the previous one, I
think it was 1.4.6?) on a specific project.
I get the following output:
$ svn up
svn: Kann Zeichenkette nicht von der eigenen Codierung nach
?\194?\187UTF-8?\194?\171 konvertieren:
svn: RE Papers f?\252r XXX.msg
$ LANG=C svn up
svn: Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8':
svn: RE Papers f?\252r XXX.msg
(The ?\252 is a German-umlaut 'u' - 'ü')
The worst thing of this: Subversion completely aborts after this
(ignoring this one file would be a much better option for me...)
This does not happen if I use a non-cygwin (command-line) Subversion, or
if I use TortoiseSVN. That's the reason why I write this mail here, and
not on a Subversion list.
So, as far as I understand, the problem is that my system cannot convert
the 'ü' to UTF8. But why can't it?
BTW: I am not completely sure that this is a SVN problem per se. If I do
a ls -l, I get the following output:
$ ls -l
[...]
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tri Kein 34304 Aug 12 15:02 RE Papers f?r ZESAN.msg
[...]
Note, again, that the Umlaut-u is replaced with a question mark '?'. So,
this might also be some other problem with my Cygwin install.
But: Which setting do I have to change? I tried setting the environment
variable $LANG to different values, but it seems not to have any effect.
Also, I tried codepage:ansi and codepage:oem in $CYGWIN (before starting
bash), but it seems to have no effect, too.
So, I am stuck with a problem, and I am not completely sure where to
proceed. Thus, any help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Spiro.
