There are a couple of old threads on this topic:

I have had limited success with using the property svnkit:charset,
which does seem to translate between ascii and ebcdic on add/import,
and on checkout, if the property is previously set.

The whole trick seems to be to set the properties on the client side, then
commit.  I wasted a lot of time trying to manage this on the server; it is
client side based.  

If you edit the client config file, auto-properties seems to work ok: set
the svn:mime-type to text and the svnkit:charset to 'natvie'.  Then add your
files to a repository; if the repository already exisits, it's a painful
process to manually set the properties, unless someone has figured this out
better.


I'm still struggling with authentication, so have had to allow anonymous
write access, not ideal.
Apparently the svnkit client isn't handling the user/password when entered
on z/os in ebcdic

One more thing: I am running z/OS v1.r10, in the USS shell.   Sometimes when
people refer to OMVS they mean the 'ishell' option from ISPF, and that has
many limitations.
