Re: Problems with post-commit hook updating working copy

Hi again,
If this is useful I complete the information with the output for the
"locale" command on my system (my region is Spain):

-----------------
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
--------------------

I have read the problem could be the codification of some files (quote from
svn book):

svn: Can't recode string.

The message is cryptic, but generally occurs when the Subversion client has
received a UTF-8 string from the repository, but the characters can't be
converted to the current locale.

By the way I don't know how to check the codification of these files,
neither change this codification.

Please some help :'(
