 There is ongoing debate with subversion developers about how to deal with
 the composed/decomposed unicode difference that is manifest on OSX
 (because only OSX uses decomposed unicode). Bascically unicode characters
 with foreign accents etc. do not work with SVN on OSX - it's a huge
 problem for developers with non-english file names on OSX. See here for a
 description of the problem:

 http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/unicode-composition-for-
 filenames

 and here for a patch to fix it temporarily until it's officially fixed.

 http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2464

 I've tried the patch and it works. Current macports subversion (1.5.5) is
 broken on OSX in the way described in the above page. Since this issue is
 really only manifest on OSX, it probably makes sense to patch it in the
 macports version ...
