Hi David, Bert, Alexey and everybody,
now it WORKS!! Thank you for your advises. 8-))
To solve my encoding problem, I had to:
- upgrade to cygwin 1.7
- set LC_ALL=de_DE.CP1252 (for Cygwin)
- chcp 1252 (for Windows)
- use a True-Type font (Lucida Console)
=> Now Windows, Dos console, Cygwin and svn can talk with each
other with all German umlaut characters and such.
GREAT!
Paul.
