subversion has to guess, one way or another. Guessing that you want your files to look like UTF-8 but your filenames to look like KOI8-R seems pretty dumb. If you want to edit UTF-8 content, you should probably be using a UTF-8 locale - I doubt most text editors will do the right thing otherwise. And for XML tools that expect a file to be UTF-8-encoded, what will they think of filename references in some foreign encoding? > Note that upstream disagrees concerning this patch, e.g. > > http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=115189 No - they're of mixed opinions. Brane disagrees, Julian doesn't: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-04/0785.shtml Ivan thinks keywords should not be localised at all, which also solves the problem, but that's a lot harder to implement.
