#19 Special characters in filenames

[Hannes Scheidler]

Files with special characters result in spaces

cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot rename
file .new.Dict_Espa to Dict_Espańol: Invalid argument

Other CVS clients don't have this problem, so I have to
assume it's caused by cvsmonitor and it's cvs interface.

PS
In case the special character is not correctly sent to the
bug tracking system, in the word Espanol the n has a
tilde.

Again, this is possibly caused by the cvs checkout, although
I'm not entirely sure why. In any case, being a fairly young
program, it's internationalisation support is probably weak
anyway, I have some suspicions about the code and it's ability
to parse the RCS log dump even if the cvs client was working.

But I'm quite interested in the problem.

Excuse my Australian-ness, but is the n-tilde part of
iso-8859-1 or a different characterset?

I've been discussing a slow move towards greater
internationalisation in one of the feature requests.
