All

I get what seems like a bogus error when I try to "import", or "add", a file
with odd characters in it's name as shown here:

$ svnadmin create d:/_SVN_/sample_proj

AHorvath@AHorvath /cygdrive/c/temp/test

$ cd sample_proj/

AHorvath@AHorvath /cygdrive/c/temp/test/sample_proj

$ ls -al

total 112

drwxr-xr-x+ 2 AHorvath mkpasswd 0 Apr 3 12:12 .

drwxr-xr-x+ 3 AHorvath mkpasswd 0 Apr 3 12:12 ..

-rwxr-xr-x 1 AHorvath mkpasswd 111808 Aug 17 2005 *Evolutionary
Acquisition and Spiral Development - Aug ?2002.pdf*

AHorvath@AHorvath /cygdrive/c/temp/test/sample_proj

$ svn import . file:///cygdrive/d/_SVN_/sample_proj/

*svn: Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8':*

*svn: Evolutionary Acquisition and Spiral Development - Aug ?\1602002.pdf*

svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:

svn: 'svn-commit.tmp'

If I rename the file and repeat the command it works fine:

$ ls -al

total 113

drwxr-xr-x+ 2 AHorvath mkpasswd 0 Apr 3 12:20 .

drwxr-xr-x+ 3 AHorvath mkpasswd 0 Apr 3 12:12 ..

-rwxr-xr-x 1 AHorvath mkpasswd 111808 Apr 3 12:16 *Evolutionary
Acquisition and Spiral Development.pdf*

$ svn import . file:///cygdrive/d/_SVN_/sample_proj/

Adding (bin) Evolutionary Acquisition and Spiral Development.pdf

*Committed revision 1.*

Is there an option that allows SVN to accept virtually any file? Currently
I'm WINZIPping the file to circumvent the problem.

Thx Attila
