Description

There seems to be an issue with W2K if there is a non-7-bit-ascii
character in the USERPROFILE.
I assume svn needs it to access my home directory.

My USERPROFILE is USERPROFILE=E:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Jürgen Weber

(that is a ü in my name).


E:\Programme\Subversion>svn help
svn: Invalid argument
svn: Safe data:
"E:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\J"
... was followed by non-ascii byte 252.

Non-ascii character detected (see above), and unable to convert to UTF-8.

If I set manually USERPROFILE to e:\home 
then svn help works, but 

svn mkdir file://d:/Subversion/repos/jwf

ends with an access violation


I am not sure if this is connected with "Charset conversion not yet
supported on Win32" mentioned on the Inconveniences page.
I think uuml; is in the windows character set.
