As long as we have a way of doing this in environment, at run time, on
all supported platforms, then I'm +1 on removing the option as well.
But
$ LC_CTYPE=FOO svn status
will not work on non-Unix, and won't necessarily even work in all Unix
shells, right? Not saying that's a showstopper, just want to know
what the right solution *is* for those other situations...
