Hello,
I'll better start with the background information, or else my problem
won't make much sense:
I am trying to create a development environment which I can use on my
dual-boot system. I started with a Workspace created in Windows. So far
I done the following:
1. Mount a NTFS Partition under Linux. Check. Mounted as UTF-8 with ntfs-3g
2. Share Eclipse-Project between Linux/Windows. Check.
3. Reading filenames with non-ascii characters both with Windows-Eclipse
and Linux with Eclipse. Check.
4. Reading files encoded in ISO-8859-1 both with Windows-Eclipse and
Linux-Eclipse. Check.
5. Synchronizing CVS repository under Linux. Failed.
The reason why 5 failed is that CVS is using UTF-8 to read the
Entries-files (in the CVS directory), but those files were created under
Windows with cp-1252. If I commited a file "testäöü.txt" in Windows-CVS,
it would gain an entry in "Entries", encoded in cp-1252. But, if I
synchronize the same project afterwards in Linux (no changes made), then
a merging-conflict is announced, because Linux-CVS cannot find the
"testäöü.txt" in "Entries", instead it finds "test?.txt" (where ? is
some garbage character)
Even though I have defined ISO-8859-1 as default encoding for the
Workspace, this only applies to the "normal" files, not the CVS files.
I have tried to set LC_ALL=en_US.ISO-8859-1, but then the filenames are
affected also (item 3 in the list above).
Any suggestion how I can solve this?

Mads,
This sounds like a bug. Please log a bug report against Platform/CVS.
