I'm sure something like that would help me, but cygwin doesn't have a 
"locale" command, so it didn't help. Merely setting LC_CTYPE didn't do it.

The correct solution is probably to find the file with the bad filename 
and rename it. I don't have time to investigate at the moment, but the 
offending file was added to the repository sometime after revision 42625.
