You can fool all three of the proposed systems in this way (UTF-8, email,
binary). But if you consider this then you are optimizing for a user who
works hard to fool the system - instead of the user who simply wants to use
it in an international environment. That is a question of specification, it
must be stated that svn command line client expects any log message in the
system locale (if not specified otherwise, especially "UTF-8 already" can be
a useful option theoretically).
If somebody worries about the possible data loss: you can recover the
original data from all three systems. Email and binary stores the original
byte stream, UTF-8 is reversible.
