svnlook problem or bug with utf8 under windows

/* reposted as FRESH POST, thx Karl */

Hi All,

I Have posted this problem in the DEV Mailinglist one week ago, but no
response.

I have a problem with svnlook. I don't get any Unicode or utf8 output
from this Tool.

I have written a pre-commit hook under windows that changes the log
message.

pre-commit.bat calls svnlook log ....... >temp.txt

I have set this in my batch file.

->snip<----------------------------------

set APR_ICONV_PATH=C:\Programme\CollabNet Subversion
Server\httpd\bin\iconv

set LANG=de_DE.UTF8

mode con codepage select=65001

->snip<----------------------------------

I have tested a lot of different codepages here, but I found no way to
tell svnlook to use utf-8 or unicode.

The windows codepage for utf8 is 65001. I have tested a dirty trick, I
have copied the file utf-8.so to cp65001.so and set the windows codepage
to 65001 (mode con codepage select=65001).

This works fine, svnlook puts out Unicode now, but I am not sure if it
really works correct in all cases. And it is a really dirty trick ;-)

Is there a clean way to get UTF-8 output from svnlook?

Is this a svnlook bug or a apr-iconv bug? I have taken a look to the
apr-iconv sources and there is a "charset_alias_list" with some
mappings, but none for 65001.

I have read some questions about adding a --utf8-output switch to some
svn tools, I think this would be a good solution.

Thanks, Carsten
