I work on a text editor for Mac OS X and I know that we've had
problems because of the way the system handles decomposed vs. non-
decomposed Unicode characters. It is possible that SVN is expecting
to find an decomposed Ö and you've got a non-decomposed Ö in the name
of the file sitting in the directory. I'm not sure the best way to
handle this. Mac OS is not very well behaved since its decision on
how to represent UTF-8 is not the standard one (I think the standard
says that you should use the shortest encoding and Mac OS X prefers
to always use decomposed characters, but I'm not really sure).
Possibly setting everything to ISO-8859 might solve this problem.
Good luck and please post to the list if you find the root of the
problem and a solution, although this hasn't bitten us yet, it might
at some point.
