[viewvc-users] Error due to filename with accented character while building/updating a commit database using cvsdbadmin

I am trying to build a commit database on a Windows 2003 SP2 server, 
ActiveState Python 2.5, Cvsnt 2.5.05.3744, ViewVC 1.1.5 I get this 
error when ViewVC processes a file with an accentd character in its 
name:

[sources/IK-STAT/doc/src/Funzionalit ikstat.doc [2 new 
commits]]Traceback (most
recent call last):
  File "cvsdbadmin", line 191, in <module>
    command == 'update', quiet_level)
  File "cvsdbadmin", line 88, in RecurseUpdate

  File "cvsdbadmin", line 88, in RecurseUpdate

  File "cvsdbadmin", line 64, in UpdateFile
    print '[%s [%d new commits]]' % (file, len(commit_list)),
IOError: [Errno 0] Error


The actual file name is "sources/IK-STAT/doc/src/Funzionalità 
ikstat.doc", with an accented a letter. ViewVC displays a related error 
when I try to access the directory in which the file resides:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\programmi\viewvc\lib\viewvc.py", line 4317, in main
    request.run_viewvc()
  File "c:\programmi\viewvc\lib\viewvc.py", line 397, in run_viewvc
    self.view_func(self)

    file_data, options)

    alltags = _get_logs(self, path_parts, entries_to_fetch, rev, 
subdirs)
  File "c:\programmi\viewvc\lib\vclib\ccvs\bincvs.py", line 1017, in 
_get_logs
    ', found %s' % (file and file.path, filename))
Error: Error parsing rlog output. Expected RCS file 
E:\Repository\digint\sources\IK-STAT\doc\src\Funzionalit� ikstat.doc,v, 
found E:\Repository\digint\sources\IK-STAT\doc\src\Funzionalità 
ikstat.doc,v

The "expected file" shows a square symbol instead of the accented a, 
while the "found file" is correct. If I switch the browser enconding 
(IE8) from UTF-8 to Windows West Europe (I guess it's Windows 1252), 
the "expected" file is shown correctly while the "found" one is shown 
with a different character for the accented a. Thereby I believe there 
are some codepage issues between ViewVC, rlog.exe and filenames under 
Windows.

Is this fixed in a later release? Or is it an open issue?

Thank you, regards.
