You should be able to delete the file in the SVN Repositories view, and
then run Team -> Update.
If it cannot convert the filename encoding to UTF-8, that implies that
your locale is not set correctly, so Subversion usage of iconv cannot
work. You do not say which client adapter you are using, but you could
try switching it. I'd assume that JavaSVN just leverages features of the
JRE for this.
For JavaHL, on Windows you need to have the APR_ICONV_PATH environment
variable defined. It does not look like you are on Windows. On Unix
operating systems, I think you have to have your locale settings set to a
value that support the file name. Some users set their locale to a UTF-8
locale to deal with this. I do not know much more, you'd want to ask on
the Subversion users@ list where more people would have dealt with this.
