Except that httpd doesn't do setlocale() so mod_authz_svn cannot do
native to UTF8 conversions (apart from trivial conversions for ASCII
strings). At present paths within an AuthzSVNAccessFile need to be
UTF8 encoded and changing that to native isn't possible since
mod_authz_svn won't be able to convert such paths to UTF8 as required
by the Subversion filesystem. The svnserve equivalent is the authz-db
file, and it's presently also UTF8. I suppose svnserve could do
things differently, but that doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
