Hi,
I have recently run into an issue with regards to subversion, and I am
not sure where to pin the blame. Basically I have created a repository
and have been checking in my files, using subclipse, using a user name
that contains an accent (André). This seems to have been working fine
and a network issue I had now seems to prevent me from adding a
directory I was checking in. I am being told it is already in the
repository, but an update doesn't change the local status and I don't
see it on the server.
I decided to try and 'svn cleanup', from the command line, but that
didn't work, instead giving me the error:
svn: Malformed XML: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 12
looking at the .svn/log at the deepest point where the failure seems
to have happened I see my accented name. This makes me wonder whether
there is an issue handling non-US-ASCII characters. What format is
this file meant to be in? US-ASCII or UTF-8?
While I can refrain from using accents in my user name, are accents
meant to be supported for data that appears in the log file? Until I
know what the design expectations are, I am not sure whether to ask
the subclipse people to put in support for preventing non US-ASCII
characters being entered for user names or whether to file this as a
bug against subversion.
Note that I have experienced this issue on both MacOS X using
subversion 1.5.3 and on CentOS using subversion 1.4.2.
Andre
