I'm suffering from this too, working with Russian file names. We have
just 2 accented letters in the alphabet though.

This problem is due to forced Unicode normalization by Mac OS HFS+
filesystem. In particular, it uses NFD normalization rule. Most
subversion clients doesn't take this into account.

There is no agreed on solution to this problem as yet in subversion
developer community. Various options are discussed. See the links
below.

Anyway, there is a patch for MacPorts version of subversion. It isn't
installed by default, you have to ask for the patch as a 'variant'.
The command to install is:

$ sudo port install subversion +unicode_path

Versions developers could apply this patch to their internal
subversion libs. But this is not all so simple, because this could
possibly complicate things for people using Mac-only repositories
(with Mac-only clients, to be exact) with problem characters in file
names.

If anyone wants more information, here are the links I've researched
today:
