Eclipse Subversion failing on utf-8

jackpark
The error message reads like this:
Invalid argument
svn: Can't convert string from 'UTF-8' to native encoding:
<snip> eclipse32workspace/zotero/translators/Bibliothe?\204?\128que et Archives nationales du Que?\204?\129bec.js

Attempting to open a new svn project in Eclipse from the zotero trunk.

Any thoughts?
Thanks--Jack

    I got the same error just using svn on my macbook at the same place. It's not an eclipse issue, possibly a subversion issue? -- Jack

    Okay, sorry for solving my own bump. I'm a bit nervous to fix a Zotero issue that is holding up my research.

    A Mac solution to this problem is described here:

    http://www.juretta.com/log/2007/05/09/svn_can_t_convert_string_from_utf-8_to_native_encoding_/

    The Cygwin "solution' is to use native SVN described here:

    A server-side solution that would work for everyone would be to remove the non UTF-8 character in the file name.
