Description

When running cvs2svn on a cvs repository containing non-ascii
filenames the conversion seems to be ok but when checking out the
created repository, checkout fails with the following error:

svn: Invalid argument
svn: failure during string recoding

To reproduce the problem:

1) create an empty cvs repository with cvs init,
2) create an file with a non-ascii character in the name (I used
"Caractéristiques.txt"),
3) import it into cvs,
4) convert the cvs repository to svn (I add --encoding ISO-8859-15),
it should work ok,
5) check it out from svn, it will fail.
