Sorry for the extremely late reply... I've been so busy it's not even
funny any more.
Here's what needs to be done with Issue #872:
* Define two new charset conversion functions: one that converts
from the console input encoding to UTF-8, and one that converts
from UTF-8 to the console output encoding. On Unix, these will
just map to the existing to/from-UTF-8 functions.
* Change the Windows portion of svn_cmdline_init to stop calling
SetConsole[Outpu]CP, and instead call GetConsole[Output]CP and
store both values. These will be used by the two new functions.
* Use the new conversion functions wherever anything is printed to
or read form the console.
It's also a good idea to be careful about the usage of
svn_utf_utf8_to_native; it's possible that this function can be mapped
directly to the new console output conversion routine, but I'm not
positive as I haven't looked at the code yet.
Hope that's clear enough.
