command line client has problems with paths with hebrew characters

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Today, I tried to use the SVN command line client from within TexStudio. 
TexStudio invoked svn.exe with the following parameters:

svn.exe up --non-interactive c:\path_with_hebrew_letters\somefile.txt

The result was:

Skipped 'c:\path_with_hebrew_letters\somefile.txt'
Summary of conflicts:
  Skipped paths: 1

As you can imagine, that's not very satisfying.
I then investigated. I opened a command prompt (cmd.exe, which is unicode 
aware), and then tried the same command as TexStudio executed. The result was 
the same (skipped path ...). As a workaround, I can "cd" into the directory, 
and then use the command "svn up somefile.txt". That works without a problem.

My conclusion is that the svn command line client that ships with tortoise SVN 
does not properly (if at all) support windows' unicode-based path names.

I should mention that I was using Tortoise SVN 1.8.7
