Re: Problems with post-commit hook updating working copy

Hi,
 I have tried the shell script you sent me and maybe we can be closer to
understand my problem. I have tested with the same project, and althought it
has been uploaded completely to the svn server, the working copy in the
web-server public folder has the same lacks of certains directories and/or
files.

The update-dev.log has the following message:

     svn: Can't recode string

I have googled the message, and it seems to be problem of the codification
of the files, doesn't it?

I don't know how to solve this problem so any help will be useful.

Thanks in advance.
