if you get "Skipped 'c:\path_with_hebrew_letters\somefile.txt'" and the
chars you see there are the correct ones, then that implies that svn.exe
is unicode aware.

you can try this:
create a bat file with the following content:

type "$1" > c:\testfile.txt
pause

save the bat file as c:\test.bat

Now instead of
svn.exe up --non-interactive c:\path_with_hebrew_letters\somefile.txt
run this from TexStudio:
cmd.exe /c c:\test.bat c:\path_with_hebrew_letters\somefile.txt

and then check whether c:\testfile.txt contains the same as
c:\path_with_hebrew_letters\somefile.txt.
