UTF-8 encoding in SVN trouble

[jerome@…]

Hi,

I get the followimg errors messages while trying to pointing trac to my SVN repository : Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/trac/web/main.py", line 379, in dispatch_request
   dispatcher.dispatch(req)

ProgrammingError: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x80

I believe the issue is related to some character encoding issues within something in the repository. I've also noticed that when the error occurs, a transaction is held open to the database. That causes intermittent other errors when hitting other pages after someone has hit the browse page.

Any ideas about that ? Cheers
