1) Do not use $Date$. It is not for you. It 1) uses local timezone, 2) uses utf-8 regardless of the actual file encoding. Forcing a locale would not solve 1). 2) Do not use $Id, if you have non-english characters in committer login names or in file name (because of utf-8, see above) Any other keyword is causing trouble? > > If it is not available, I would like to suggest maybe adding this to the > subversion/config file. > Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko
