Subversion works in non-UTF8 locales. If one normally uses Subversion in a non-UTF8 locale then non-UTF8 paths on disk can represent versioned files. If one were to accidentally invoke Subversion with a UTF8 locale any such files would trigger the invalid UTF8 problem. When the client encounters this problem there are two interpretations: the file could be unversioned or the user could be using the wrong locale. If we choose to treat such files as unversioned then we would be deleting what might be a versioned file with modifications. -- Philip Martin WANdisco
