Does svn client binary honors LANG env variable on Windows?

Hi all,

I'm using the PHP webapp WebSVN and ran into encoding problems with
file names in my Linux environment when e.g. creating downloadable
Zipr or Tars using WebSVN. I worked around those problems using a
simple shell wrapper like the following:

> #!/bin/sh
>
> export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
> svn $*

Other people fixed this differently by using setlocale in WebSVN
directly and forwarding that value using LANG per shell invokation:

> // Make sure that the input locale is set up correctly
> setlocale(LC_ALL, $config->getLocale());

> $cmd = $this->svnCommandString('blame', $path, $rev, $peg).' > '.quote($filename);
> if ($config->getLocale() != null)
> $cmd = "LANG=".setlocale(LC_ALL, 0)." ".$cmd;

A command line like this doesn't work on Windows, it at least needs a
different syntax. I know the needed syntax and all but am not sure if
it is even necessary to handle Windows specifically the same way.

I think this depends on if the svn binary honors the env var LANG on
Windows at all? PHP itself simply executes "cmd.exe /C '...' in the
end. So which encoding is used in this case with and without setting a
LANG variable? I have the feeling it's that of the invoked cmd.exe
process in both cases because APR handles that specially for Windows?

Thanks!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
