Just to make sure, are you using a native MS Windows client or are you using Cygwin? Also, the clients differ slightly depending on the distribution, it would be helpful to have those, too.
Path name (in Windows, client): C:\Usuarios\arenero\Inútil.TXT (note the u with an acute accent: ú) C:\Usuarios\arenero>svn ci acentos -m "Prueba 1" Adding acentos Adding acentos\In£til.TXT
Hmmm. Here something already failed, the accented u changed to a pound sign. Or is that just a transmission error, caused by email?
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow): svn: Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 1) with output: /opt/csvn/data/repositories/telecontrol/hooks/check-mime-type: `/opt/csvn/bin/sv nlook proplist /opt/csvn/data/repositories/arenero -t 44-1e --verbose acentos/In ?\195?\186til.TXT' failed with this output: svnlook: Path 'acentos/In?\195?\186til.TXT' does not exist
Just for the record, I guess the ?\195?\186 could be a representation derived from the byte values of UTF-8, but I haven't verified that. What I'm not 100% sure is whether that is a fault in the hook script and how it handles those arguments. It would be interesting to know if this works with the hook script active.
To help diagnose it, I tried to check out an already existing file with accents in its name (checked in before the Hook "check-mime-type" (bash) was added in the server). Check out fails.
That shouldn't happen, no matter what the hook scripts say. What exactly is the error? What is the name of the file?
The only reason I could imagine is when you somehow got a path into the repository that is invalid UTF-8. While checking out that path, the client would then try to transcode the UTF-8 to MS Windows' native UTF-16 and fail. I believe some older SVNs relied on the client sending well-formed UTF-8, instead of validating it server-side. With the client being less than perfect, this could then lead to invalid paths. How old is your repository? Can you back it up and run svnadmin verify on it?
That said, I have been using lots of different characters (extended Latin, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, Indian) inside a Linux-hosted repo, accessed via svnserve by clients on MS Windows XP and 7 without any issues. The warning by Nico IMHO only applies if you want to share working copies between different systems, which is discouraged anyway, but those problems are actually not specific to SVN.
