Hello,

we have a subversion repository with a couple of
files including german umlauts in their filenames.
We use Tortoise SVN clients running under Win XP,
and everything works well.

Unfortunately I am not the greatest fan of such GUI
tools and prefer comand line tools whenever available.

I have a cygwin installation (last updated four weeks
ago) on my PC, and so I tried the cygwin svn.

Commands like 'svn stat'  work properly until a file
with german umlauts in the filename is encountered.
The command then quits with the following error
message:

svn: Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8'
svn: Ausgangskan?\228le.png

What can I do to make it work?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

Sven



Mit freundlichen Grüßen
