It's a known issue, I had the same problem with some swedish characters. All
the filenames are stored as unicode in the repository and when you check out
the files the locale you are running need to have support for all the
characters in the file name.
Setting LC_CTYPE to da_DK should be enough for you, if you don't want to run
UTF-8.
