Using subversion under osx

[Palad1]

Hello!

I am using subversion on a french version of panther.

My repository is hosted on a linux box, and the contributors are using either linux / windows.

I seem to be the only one having problems with subversion, due to the default system encoding: ROMAN.

Everytime I commit something I get this error message :

palad1@Bender:~/projects/trunk
$svn commit
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Can't recode string

When using svn from the terminal I guess I could override the LC_LOCALE environment variables, but I'd rather use svn through eclipse, and eclipse cannot be launched from the terminal, due to a bug in its code... well, long story short:

Is it possible to change the default encoding from ROMAN to UTF-8 ?

Thanks for your help!

You can set environment variables for GUI processes by putting them in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist as explained in this Apple doc:
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html

But I imagine that there is another way to change the encoding via preferences somehow.

not to derail the post but what is eclipse? I'm currently using svn for a project but I'm not exactly up to par on its full functionality yet.

Thanks
