Hello,
I have noticed a behaviour with Subversion 1.5.1 (and the previous one, I
think it was 1.4.6?) on a specific project.
I get the following output:
$ LANG=C svn up
svn: Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8':
svn: RE Papers f?\252r XXX.msg
(The ?\252 is a German-umlaut 'u' - 'ΓΌ')
Subversion for Cygwin uses apr or aprutil to do the conversion to UTF-8,
and those libraries don't support UTF conversion under Cygwin. I think
this is because Cygwin itself does not support it, although I'm not sure.
The worst thing of this: Subversion completely aborts after this
(ignoring this one file would be a much better option for me...)
That is the stock behavior for subversion when the conversion fails. I'm
not going to change that for Cygwin.
This does not happen if I use a non-cygwin (command-line) Subversion, or
if I use TortoiseSVN. That's the reason why I write this mail here, and
not on a Subversion list.
Windows supports the conversion using Windows APIs, it's just not
supported through Cygwin.
