BTW, on the Mac (where UTF-8 is the filesystem encoding), the only  
way I could get svn to accept non-ASCII filenames was to do

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

in my shell. (The en_US isn't important -- you could choose, for  
example, fi instead ;).

Otherwise, even a single non-ASCII character filename in a directory  
is enough to disable svn completely (even if that file isn't in svn).
