I've not found anything where a locale or a character set can be

cares about character set conversion at all. You can just set a font for
the VSS client and it displays whatever character this font maps to the
code.
Yep, I dug around in the VSS stuff and couldn't find anything like that.
Some googling reveals that there's some support for this in the VSS that
comes with VS2005, but I'm not rushing out to tie myself to yet another
proprietary product.
I think if any non-ASCII characters show up in the DB, it's due to their
use in filenames in the underlying filesystem. (They may also appear in
author names and check-in comments.) Does NTFS use Unicode or the local
codepage for filename characters?
In my DB I have some files with the character 0x85 in the name, which is an
elipses ("..."). The current trunk parses this properly and generates the
correct UTF-8 character in the resulting Subversion dump file.
As you're posting from a German domain, I'm guessing you use one of the
German language codepages. Do any of your filenames intentionally include
characters from outside the 7-bit ASCII character set? Do you use any of
those characters in author names or comments?
