Problem with umlaut in Subversion commit message

[horst.triebenbacher@…]

I have commited a change to the subversion repository. The message contains an umlaut ä and added a note to an existing ticket - using the ref directive.

Now I'm not able to view the ticket - see Traceback below:

    return tuple([(isinstance(v, unicode) and [v.encode('utf-8')] or [v])[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 28: unexpected code byte

I'm using Trac 0.9, Subversion 1.2.3 together with an Apache 2.0.54 on a Windows System.

Thanks in advance

Horst

PS: Any suggestions for a workaround are also welcome

To anonymous: this is not a test system, you just closed a valid ticket.
