You need to set LANG to en_US.UTF-8 in TextMate's custom shell variables (or /etc/profile). I have made this default for beta 6.
Btw: the readme you comitted seemed to be in ISO-8859-1 (making stuff like svn blame etc. fail).
Oh, reading this again makes me think you've set TM to save in Latin 1, and that was the problem (that svn is actually setup correctly to use UTF-8 and thus choked on the latin 1 commit message)...
I can't say it enough: UTF-8 is the king of encodings, and everybody should use it! :)
If you go to TextMate Preferences / Advanced you can disable “Only apply to new files” under File Encoding (which should be in the recommended setting ;) ), then TextMate will also save files which weren't loaded as UTF-8 (or 7 bit ASCII) as UTF-8.
I have this disabled myself.
