What client (including version) did you use to commit… and against what kind of server?
Subversion's clients properly encode characters to utf-8 as far as we know, but perhaps you used some not standard client for the commit. (Newer servers should perform more verifications; that is why that answer is also relevant) Bert Sent from Surface From: dpsen...@apache.org Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2015 4:11 PM To: users@subversion.apache.org Hi there, Somehow I was able to commit a file with a broken filename encoding and now the svn client can no longer process the log messages from the server! For example I commited the file “fooä.bar” and when I then try to svn log I get this: svn: E130003: The REPORT response contains invalid XML (200 OK) However, in wireshark I can see this coming in (stripped to the interesting lines): <S:log-item> <S:added-path>foo\344.file</S:added-path> </S:log-item> The clients svn is not the latest, but a newer version does not work either: >svn –version svn, version 1.8.10 (r1615264) compiled Aug 10 2014, 15:48:46 on x86-microsoft-windows Any good ideas how we can bring the repository back to be fully functional? Cheers
