Used alone, svn CL client also works correctly (see my test below). The
problem occurs when both applications are used together.

I tested svn 1.3.2 CL client on Linux:
./create-test-filenames.pl # Script (attached) that creates filenames
with all ASCII characters from 1 to 255 (except '/')
for f in test* ; do ; svn add $f ; done
=> svn rejects filenames with control characters with an error message
"Invalid control character"

I had a look to svn 1.3.2 source code. The function may be
svn_path_check_valid() in svn_path.c/.h.

Unicode character 9786 (hex 263A) is a smiley, thus is quite unlikely in
a filename ;-) I can certainly test for that character. Thanks.
