I don't think that is a Windows problem. The hex looks like ISO-8859-1: " SPRINT SST 111 - Großkun" so it appears that you have done a checkout or update in a non-UTF-8 locale (perhaps de_DE?) and created the non-UTF-8 path on disk. Then you have switched to a UTF-8 locale and tried to continue using the working copy. One solution is to checkout a new working copy in the UTF-8 locale. Another is to go back to the non-UTF-8 locale. It may be possible to convert the existing working copy to UTF-8 by removing the non-ascii paths and using update/revert to recreate them in UTF-8. -- Philip
