I can't help you with the bug directly, but I think you should be able to do a
server-side rename directly, i.e. 'svn move' with two URLs to rename it to
something that doesn't hit this limit.

I agree, this would be an improvement.

I believe there was an issue about different representations for UTF-8 that
are equivalent, e.g. an 'a with accent' or a 'letter a' with 'combining
accent' that are not treated as equivalent by SVN. Otherwise, I'm not sure I
understand what you mean...

hope that helps,
