I should point out this is on OSX. The results on Windows are more interesting:
1. Unlike OSX, on Windows the API completes without error. 2. However, the paths in the index are show ??? in place of UTF-8 3. But the content within the patch, shows up fine. So this seems like another data point in favor of just telling SVN to output as UTF-8 since it seems to only apply to the pathnames. Comments?
