locale issues on mac os X

Hi,

I'm having the following issue:

Recently a user added files with accents to the repository from a
windows machine and since then I get the following issue. When I do "svn
st" on the command line I see:

$ svn st
? Functional Analysis/Internal Documents Client/Profil des
compétences spécifiques.doc
! Functional Analysis/Internal Documents Client/Profil des
compétences spécifiques.doc

In other words: svn st does not seem to recognize that the file it
misses is really on the filesystem.
I can perfectly go to that file and open it.

My system has:
Mac os x 10.5.7
subversion client 1.6.3 (r38063)

In my .profile I have set the following environment variable:
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

$ locale
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=

I'm sure I have been able to store accented files in the past, but now
this seems to be problematic and I don't understand why...

I've tried setting LANG to en_US.UTF-8 as well, to no avail.

On the debian system with the same LC_CTYPE set we do not have this
issue. Note that we use svn client version 1.4.4 (r25188). I can't
upgrade it that easily to see if it also starts failing with 1.6.3...

Kind regards,
Bart De Gruyter
