I cannot say anything substantial in this direction but only remark that 
subversion on Mac got this wrong at some point leaving me with files that 
looked like having the same name (with umlaut characters) but where the 
filenames were encoded differently and thus were different files to the file 
system. On subsequent invocations subversion would get completely confused 
claiming that it would now refuse to overwrite files that are not under 
revision control.
