Cannot check-out SVN repository (created by SVN 1.5 as far as I remember).

[Paweł Kierski]

I tried to check-out SVN repository created as local file repository on Windows, SVN version 1.5. I probably used some polish diacritics in log and/or file/directory names. Traceback as follows:

-----------

This seems to mean that bzr-svn is feeding core bzr bytes when it should be sending unicode, probably the input is not in the encoding bzr-svn expects. It might be a core bug though.

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

Can you please try again with a newer version of bzr-svn, e.g. 1.0.2 ?

I don't see how this could occur with the current versions, we properly
pass in unicode everywhere - never a ascii string.
