It looks like you’ve been bitten by the infamous NFC vs NFD Subversion bug.
See
<http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/unicode-composition-for-
filenames>
and <http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2464>.
The Subversion command line tool exhibits the same problem (naturally).
I don’t know if there’s much I can do about it until they fix it in
Subversion.
There may be patched versions of Subversion floating about the web with fixes
or workarounds - I don’t know.
Note: If you rename (Move) the file (to the same name) using svnX’s
Repository window it should ‘fix’ your problem,
but any colleagues on Windows/Linux may not thank you, especially if there are
multiple files requiring this fix.

I don’t intend to look into this any further until they fix it in Subversion.

First of all, thanks for the fast consideration and review of the issue: this
is a great project, which gives such fast turnaround. I also understand there
will not be a workaround in svnX.
I wondered about svn and found that there the issue seems to be open already
for a very long time, but it seems they are not working on this anymore.

This is a pity. It basically means in cases where multi-platform (including Mac
OSX) is involved and it is not possible to ensure that no special characters
are in file names, this may not be used.
I posted an update at the svn issue tracker. Perhaps they solve it some day.
