RE: Bug with bad characters in past versions when doing sparse checkout

I suspected as much.

FYI, I worked around this problem by removing the history of the file(s) as follows:
        mv logistic_function.pdf tmp_logistic_function.pdf
        svn rm --force logistic_function.pdf
        svn commit -m ''
        mv tmp_logistic_function.pdf logistic_function.pdf
        svn add logistic_function.pdf
        svn commit -m ''

So now I'm going to reproduce the behavior in a sandbox file:// repository.

First question ... Yes I'm able to reproduce it by creating a file with a bad name inside a subdir, then renaming the file, then doing a sparse checkout of the parent, then trying to go fully recursive with tortoise. So let's see what the command line does:

C:\>svn --version
svn, version 1.5.5 (r34862)

C:\working_dir>svn update --set-depth infinity dir1
svn: Can't check path 'dir1\New(x|y)Text Document.txt': The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Ok - So I guess that means it's a svn bug. I'll go talk to the other list.
