Hi all, I'm still not sure if it's a bug, or if I'm doing something wrong. But I'm unable to get TortoiseSVN command-line tool to work with files with UTF-8 characters in their name. (1.7.10 r1485443, part of TortoiseSVN 1.7.13 @Win7 x64)
I've posted the following message here ( http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=3057388 ) but was suggested ( http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=3057494 ) to re-address it to users@subversion.apache.org : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** THE ISSUE *** Workflow: 1. Create "c:\temp\UNCtest\R_UNCtest\" folder 2. Create a repository with default file structure in it 3. Checkout "trunk" dir to "c:\temp\WC\trunk" 4. Create file "c:\temp\WC\trunk\1‐2.txt" , note, that filename consists of 3 symbols, and the one in the middle is "HYPHEN" or ‐, (see http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2010/index.htm ) 5. Add and commit this file with Tortoise GUI. (this works OK) 6. start windows cmd 7. make sure your cmd is set to use UTF-8 compatible font, for example, "Consolas" (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10764920/utf-16-on-cmd-exe/10765469#10765469 ). 8. navigate to "c:\temp\WC\trunk" 9. type "dir" - you should see the listing correctly, including "1‐2.txt" file 10. Type "mkdir 1‐2" - this should correctly create a directory. 11. Type "svn info 1‐2.txt" Result: -------------------------------------------------- svn: warning: W155010: The node 'C:\TEMP\UNCtest\WC\trunk\1?2.txt' was not found . svn: E200009: Could not display info for all targets because some targets don't exist -------------------------------------------------- * Note those 8208 symbol was replaced with question mark. * changing cmd's codepage to 65001 (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388490/unicode-characters-in-windows-command-line-how/388500#388500 ) won't help * launching cmd with '/u' switch (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2182568/batch-script-is-not-executed-if-chcp-was-called/2462138#2462138 ) won't help --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** EXISTING ISSUES *** I wasn’t able to find a related issue in the list ( http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/buglist.cgi ) The closest issue I’ve found is ( http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4075 ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** EXISTING POSTS *** Most posts I've found on this are quite outdated, though: Once anyone complain about Unicode support, he is usually suggested to either change his LANG setting, ( http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.user/80036 ) , to rename a file ( http://www.svnforum.org/threads/37439-Checking-out-files-with-Unicode-characters-in-file-names ) , or - to install some "+unicode_path" port ( http://superuser.com/questions/176243/problem-with-svn-filename-encoding-on-mac-os-x ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *** So... *** * Am I doing something wrong? * Or could this situation be treated as a bug? * Or, maybe a “feature request”? Thank you for your attention! Best regards, Igor Varfolomeev
