Hello Zsolt.
After we discussed possible reasons of the problem you have encountered
with we think that there can be the following reasons why you've got
wrong filenames:
1) it may be the current locale of the OS that makes your filenames look
strange. For example, on my Windows I also do not see Chinese
hieroglyphs as I've got a different locale. But if I browse my file
system in firefox I see correct names (see the picture attached). So, if
this is the problem of a locale (you may try to look your files in a
browser just like we did) then it's not the problem of SVNKit, since
locales of our users is out of our response.
2) it may be the problem of a file system: it's possible that a
particular file system stores filenames in ASCII only charset (using one
byte per symbol). In this case if the first point is not the reason we
would ask you to tell us what file system the problem is reproduced on -
we will check this hypotheses.
3) if both previous cases appear to be wrong, there's the last and most
undesirable case - the problem resides somewhere
in SVNKit. Here we will advise you to locate the source of the problem:
after you get your dump file loaded
/jsvnadmin load testrepo <svnUTF8FileNames.dump
check your repository with a web browser if possible (or try to change
the locale to utf-8 and browse it with Subversion command line client).
If jsvnadmin load is not the source you will see correct Chinese
filenames and the problem is in the SVNKit update engine.
And yet one more question - maybe the most important one: how does
Subversion command line client behave in the same environment where
SVNKit update spoils (?) filenames?
Thank you.
