subversion and locale

I checked out wordpress from their subversion repository and run it for a while. When I do a svn update (or a svn switch), svn stops with this error message:
svn: Can't convert string from native encoding to 'UTF-8'
svn: semp?195?169.jpg
where semp?195?169.jpg is the filename of an image which was uploaded and contains special accent characters. Many other files have the same problem.
My locale is POSIX
Should I change the locale to, say, en_IN.utf8? And would that impact my other sites already running on my account?
Thanks in advance,
Blau
