As others have said, it sounds like there is a file in your repository
with some characters in the filename that your OS doesn't like. The
best fix is to find and rename the file. Here are some suggestions on
how to do this if you're having trouble just checking it out.
A checkout should tell you how far its getting before the filename
becomes a problem, and narrow down finding a problem file in the
repository.
You can use 'svn ls URL' to look for the problem filename without
checking it out, and svn mv URL1 URL2 to move the file to a better
filename without needing it checked out.
