I have the following problem, which I think is related to that I used ISO-8859-1 when I initially created the files and directories. Now I have UTF-8 on Gentoo and want to use the old ISO-8859-1 directories on this UTF-8 system. I get the following problem:

With UTF-8 (set in /etc/env.d/02locale):

Code:

$ svn up
Updating '.':
svn: E000022: Error converting entry in directory '/home/printer' to UTF-8
svn: E000022: Valid UTF-8 data
(hex: 62 75 74 69 6b 6b 65 72 5f 6b 6c)
followed by invalid UTF-8 sequence
(hex: e6 72 2e 74)


svn commit works fine with UTF-8.

With ISO-8859-1 (set in /etc/env.d/02locale):

Code:

    $ svn up
    svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale
    svn: warning: environment variable LANG is ISO-8859-1
    svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct
    Updating '.':
    svn: E000022: Error converting entry in directory '/home/printer/docs' to UTF-8
    svn: E000022: Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8':
    svn: E000022: kj?\248ing.txt
     
    $ svn commit -m ""
    svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale
    svn: warning: environment variable LANG is ISO-8859-1
    svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correct
    svn: E000022: Commit failed (details follow):
    svn: E000022: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding:
    svn: E000022: /home/printer/docs/kj?\195?\152ing.txt


Edit:

I also tried creating a new directory on my Gentoo system and just checking out everything from the subversion server again to that directory, but it stops at this:

Code:

svn: E000022: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding:
...


I find it strange that it says from 'UTF-8' to "native encoding", when my native encoding should be UTF-8?
