I had a repository on a 0.32.1 server, which was created using vss2svn.pl.
This former vss repository contained a folder called "Menü" which made it
unaccessible on the 0.32.1 server. I reckoned that 0.32.1 was the problem,
dumped the repository there, scp'ed it to the other machine and reloaded it
into our 1.0.5 server. The problem persited on the new machine. So I popped
up vi with the 0.32.1 dumpfile, stripped everything down to the minimum and
pasted the dumpfile into the email I sent to the list.

You're right. When I make sure that the dumpfile is UTF-8, everything works
fine.

Does this mean, that 0.32.1 dumpfiles are not UTF-8? Then I'm in trouble,
because I have to migrate tons of repositories to the new server in the near
future... How can I fix such a dumpfile? This one was easy, because it was
only one directory which contained a non-ascii char.

Cheers
-Lübbe
