locale tells me it's de_DE@euro for my svn user and POSIX for root. I
tried setting it to de_DE.utf8 before dumping the repository, but that
didn't make any difference.

Ouch, I was afraid of that answer. So the only thing left to me is
dumping, grepping "Node-path"s for accented characters and replacing them?
But what about accented characters inside my source? Should they be
UTF-8 in the dumpfile as well or are the file contents not touched by svn?

I still have the problem on the target system, that the german
characters in my commit messages are not displayed properly when
checking with svnlook. I get two possible (but no good) results
depending on my locale setting.

svnlook on the server:
======================
svn@raneu:~> locale
LANG=de_DE@euro
...
svn@raneu:~> svnlook log -r41 repository/testrepos/
Doppelte Datei auf dem Server gel?\246scht

svn@raneu:~> export LANG=de_DE.utf-8
svn@raneu:~> svnlook log -r41 repository/testrepos/
Doppelte Datei auf dem Server gelöscht

Browsing the repository on the server using WebSVN also results in the
?\246, since WebSVN is using svnlook to fetch the status.

svn log on the server:
======================
using 'svn log' on the server results in a proper log message:
svn_at_raneu:~> svn log file:///svn/repository/testrepos/

That makes me hope that the log messages are at least dumped&loaded OK.
But:
- Why does 'svn log' on windows display ?\195?\182 instead of 'ö'?
- Why does 'svn log' on Linux display the log message properly?
- Why does 'svnlook log' on Linux *not* display the log message 
properly? (same bash, same locale...) Is this a bug in svnlook?
