No, its not. There is no conversion, meaning filenames and even worse, the file content, are transmitted as is. This will cause trouble if one sandbox runs on a iso-8859-1 filesystem and another one runs for ex. on a utf-8 fs. Files checked out from cvs server will be encoded identical to the encoding they were checked in with.
