So that's where the whole problem is? In that case I suggest
that (to make it easier for all the clients out there and the
several language bindings) the subversion library should do
the URI encoding and only leave the UTF8 encoding to
the clients. After all, the subversion libs know best if
a path is local/svn/http/... and can do the URI encoding
where necessary.

(ok, I admit, it would also be easier for me :-) )
