Sound's a good Idea, because I think, Tobias, you and me, we are not the only people using these funny characters worldwide. I recently had a discussion with Toby Johnson from vss2svn-migration tool where these problems also came up.

I downloaded the win32 - edition of SVN from tigris.org. How can I check if this build is linked against libiconv?

Does anybody knows what has to be set under Win32? Simply hacking set de_DE.ISO8859-1 didn't do the trick, however I didn't expect it to work.
