Re: svn checkout - special characters in file name are not encoding properly

(I'm going to handle just the "svn repository" potential cause of the
problem. I'll let others handle the "client-side problem, but repository is
okay" potential cause.)

We do support UTF-8 file names:

0:% x="modŠle fields-replacements.xsl"
0:% echo foo > $x
0:% $svnmucc put -mmsg $x file://`pwd`/r1/$x
r2 committed by daniel at 2010-08-09T15:28:18.165794Z
0:% $svn up wc1
A wc1/modŠle fields-replacements.xsl
Updated to revision 2.
0:% ls wc1
branches modŠle fields-replacements.xsl tags trunk
0:%

(this is under linux with a UTF-8 locale)

Given that you migrated from CVS to SVN, can you check that the filenames
inside the repository's filesystem are encoded in UTF-8 and not in iso-8859-*?
