[RFC/PATCH] commit messages not 8-bit compatible

Not a correct patch, but something that needs to be fixed one
way or the other:

Problem: ĺäö (and other nonASCII chars)in commit messages makes the ra_dav
server barf over the commit.

The client tells:
svn_error: #21093 : <RA layer request failed>
  applying log message to
/lin24/$svn/wbl/d2c7f5da-d11d-b211-a802-896bfc595c95/17: 400 Bad Request
Apache tells:
[Wed May 29 12:06:02 2002] [error] [client 130.232.84.208] XML parser error
code: not well-formed (4)

... and so on.

A quick fix for $EDITOR made messages is below:

Don't apply this, but please comment.
Should the messages be allowed to be 8bit, and is it the client or the
server that should correct it if needed?
