Well, I can tell you roughly what Karl means, but I don't know how to
resolve the problem.
Karl's "locale" means "whatever you do to tell the editor that these
characters are in the koi8-r codepage is not also getting to the svn
client." The bad part of codepages is that any given codepage can
only represent a few languages; the good part of Unicode (including
UTF-8) is that it can represent any. The message about "recoding"
refers to the fact that SVN converts such input into UTF-8 (a way of
encoding Unicode). By converting to Unicodde, Subversion ensures
that your Cyrillic characters can be displayed on anyone's system,
even if they're configured for French or Chinese (or English). But
the one weak point is: when converting from the codepage to Unicode,
Subversion is still dealing with the codepage, and so it has to know
which codepage to use: you have to tell it. Something might be
broken in this arrangement on your system; something might be broken
in svn's handling.
