This is somewhat misleading. Yes, the repository keeps filenames in UTF-8,
so does the client internally. This has nothing to do with the encoding of
the local filesystem.

Sure, because you are telling Subversion that your filenames are UTF-8
encoded when in fact they are not. The "Can't recode string" error message
usually means that you did not set the LANG or LC_CTYPE env vars at all; in
those cases Subversion doesn't know what the source encoding is, so it can't
recode.
Assuming that LANG and LC_CTYPE were not set at all, you need to set them to
fr_CH, unless you recode all filenames on your system to be UTF-8
compliant...
