AFAIK yes. The whole subversion library expects paths and
urls in UTF-8 format.

What I do in TSVN is for paths to encode them in UTF-8 before
passing to the subversion functions, and URL's first URI encoded
and then in UTF-8 before passing to the subversion functions.

URLs/paths returned by the subversion libraries are usually also
encoded that way (UTF-8 and for URL's additionally URI).
I guess the only exception to that is the svn_client_ls() command
which provides the filelist already de-URI encoded.

That worked in the past with all functions I use in TSVN - at least
I haven't found something that doesn't until now (except the blame
command).
Am I wrong here with my assumptions?
