The pattern "C-c LETTER" is explicitly reserved for users' custom
keybindings (and "C-c NONLETTER" is for mode-specific bindings, I
believe). Only a user's personal Emacs customizations should bind
"C-c l" to anything. This is why svn-dev.el offers 'l' as an example
only:

   ;; How to use this: just run `svn-log-message'. You might want to
   ;; bind it to a key, for example,
   ;;
   ;; (define-key "\C-cl" 'svn-log-message)
   ;;
   ;; The log message will accumulate in a file. Later, you can use
   ;; that file when you commit:

If a package actually *takes* "C-c l", well, it's stealing :-).

I can't explain why you saw so many instances on the Net of it being
bound, but probably if we used any other key for the example, a
similar overlap would occur. The keyspace is not infinite; every
Emacs developer has learned to deal with this restriction.
