Yes, svn is not so great at dealing with non-ascii filenames which is a
bummer :(
We should however, have at least one test in Chandler that does try to
load a file (ics for example) with a non-ascii name / file path.
Although this is a total hack, this could be accomplished by renaming a
file checked out from svn from ascii to non-ascii on testing startup and
then restoring the original name when the testing completes.
For example "testFile.ics" would be renamed "testFile(ü).ics" for testing.
When testing was complete, "testFile(ü).ics"would be renamed back to
"testFile.ics".
This would get around the svn problem in the short term until the svn
team fixes their bug.

Hi,
A brief list of things that I have done last week:
...
4) The filesystem unicode tests in /chandler/parcels/osaf/sharing/
tests passed in Windows with '\u00FC' characters in the filenames.
An interesting observation was that cygwin terminal and svn do not
support unicode filenames. The terminal showed '?' in place of
'\u00FC' and the svn was unable to process these files and exitted
with and error. I will repeat this test in Linux as well.
BTW, on the Mac (where UTF-8 is the filesystem encoding), the only
way I could get svn to accept non-ASCII filenames was to do
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
in my shell. (The en_US isn't important -- you could choose, for
example, fi instead ;).
Otherwise, even a single non-ASCII character filename in a directory
is enough to disable svn completely (even if that file isn't in svn).
BTW, due to a bunch of cross-platform issues, it's not so good to add
non-ASCII files to svn. See:
