RE: XML data was not well-formed

Aha!

I had some weird files, I didn't think it would cause a problem.

blank.gif:?Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc:$DATA
blank.gif:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA

Not sure how they got named like that, but after starting from scratch
and re-importing everything without these files it worked fine.

Thanks for the help.

Chris.

The error message also happens when one tries to checkout a corrupt
archive which contains file names whose names are not properly encoded
in UTF-8, IIRC.

(It's pretty easy to create such repositories if you run in a UTF-8
locale.)
