Umlaut characters in commit message not properly encoded

[djmaze]

When trying to insert German Umlaut characters or other special characters ("äöüß"), they are not properly sent to svn.

svn log shows that e.g. "ä" gets "?228".

You have to send commit messages UTF-8 encoded!

Ok. Can not resolve it. I see following:

• committing from within kdesvn entering german umlauts no problems. will displayd in kdesvn-log and svn-log fine. Last under X-Windows and on plain console.

• committing with svn itself makes problems (svn itself doesn't display it own log correct).

So please tell me your settings of LC* - variables so I can check it. Or if you will try it yourself (building from source) try appended patch - it makes no difference on my systems (fedora 4 with utf-8 environment) but may on your.

Many thanks for your effort

Thanks! Now it looks right in "svn log" (and in Trac, btw.)!

kdesvn's log function screws the text up now. E.g. "ä" is shown as "ÃŒ".

I suppose now you have to change the log reading functions, too?

It's really cool you reacted that fast ;-)

Sorry, I forgot: LC_ALL=de_DE

Ok. it should work now with 0.5.2. - it happend 'cause I had set language environment to utf-8 so I never had such problems ;)
