As far as I know:

No. The *only* transformations done on files are line-ending normalization
(if svn:eol-style is set) and $Keyword$ expansion (if svn:keywords is set).
We do not recode files, not even if 'svn:mime-type' is set.

But I suppose we do recode log messages at commit time if log-encoding
is set in your config file.

Subversion treats files as opaque binary strings, unless you tell it
otherwise (see above).
