I don't think the document's name is broken, I think Subversion just
doesn't know what your local encoding is. Have you set the $LANG
variable? For example, I have this in my ~/.bashrc on my Mac OS X
10.4.6 machine:

        export LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1

And I also have my Terminal set to ISO-8859-1. If you use the default
UTF-8 Terminal encoding, you may prefer:

        export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Listing the directory /usr/share/locale will show you what locale
choices are available to you on your system.
