Yes, that does turn up some interesting stuff. It looks like the repository contains some paths with non-ASCII characters, for example this one has some en-dashes (U+2013) in its name:
$ svn ls -R svn://dev/trunk/curriculum/Fluency | grep Ninja__Beta Hurix work/source from May 2014/For_Anesh/06 Deliverables/Phase 2/FT3 – Ninja/FT3 – Ninja__Beta.zip $ svn ls -R svn://dev/trunk/curriculum/Fluency | grep Ninja__Beta | od -cx 0000000 H u r i x w o r k / s o u r c 7548 6972 2078 6f77 6b72 732f 756f 6372 0000020 e f r o m M a y 2 0 1 4 / 2065 7266 6d6f 4d20 7961 3220 3130 2f34 0000040 F o r _ A n e s h / 0 6 D e l 6f46 5f72 6e41 7365 2f68 3630 4420 6c65 0000060 i v e r a b l e s / P h a s e 7669 7265 6261 656c 2f73 6850 7361 2065 0000100 2 / F T 3 342 200 223 N i n j a / 2f32 5446 2033 80e2 2093 694e 6a6e 2f61 0000120 F T 3 342 200 223 N i n j a _ _ B 5446 2033 80e2 2093 694e 6a6e 5f61 425f 0000140 e t a . z i p \n 7465 2e61 697a 0a70 0000150 In the output of 'git ls-files', those paths appear quoted (there are almost 100 of them): $ git ls-files | grep Ninja__Beta "curriculum/Fluency/Hurix work/source from May 2014/For_Anesh/06 Deliverables/Phase 2/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja__Beta.zip" $ git ls-files | grep ^\" | wc -l 89 In the diff you suggested, 'sort' puts those paths at the absolute top of the list, while plain old ls-files puts them inline with the rest of the contents of the curriculum/ subdir: $ grep -n Ninja__Beta Q R Q:36109:"curriculum/Fluency/Hurix work/source from May 2014/For_Anesh/06 Deliverables/Phase 2/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja__Beta.zip" R:89:"curriculum/Fluency/Hurix work/source from May 2014/For_Anesh/06 Deliverables/Phase 2/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja/FT3 \342\200\223 Ninja__Beta.zip" Also, I have the curriculum/Fluency/ directory marked as sparse-checkout: $ cat .git/info/sparse-checkout /* !/curriculum/Fluency/ !/curriculum/Problems/lisp/ !/curriculum/Problems/lisp_es/ !/curriculum/Problems/sdk/Geometry/ !/curriculum/Problems/sdk_es/Geometry/ !/curriculum/Problems/sdk/Test-Questions/ !/curriculum/Problems/sdk_es/Test-Questions/ !/curriculum/Problems/sdk/Grammar/ However, I tried to construct a test case that would reproduce this with a simple SVN repo containing a file created by 'touch "make-git-svn-$(echo -e '\u201c')unhappy$(echo -e '\u201d')"', but could not get it to fail.
