Hmm.

1) I'm a Spaniard, but I don't want to see Subversion messages in
   Spanish (I usually *hate* the translations, and they are often
   outdated or plainly wrong^1). So I hope the client can be "convinced"
   to send "Accept-Language: en" (or no Accept-Language at all).

2) My webbrowser sends "Accept-Language: es" (I visit Spanish pages in
   the web), but I'd hate to browse a remote repository and get Spanish
   translation on the HTML or XML view... How would that be posible?

Note ^1: Even if they're correct, there's an issue of Spanish being
spoken by 350+ Mp in a few dozen countries, each one of them with
localities. Call me snob, but I prefer to read "type" than "tipee",
"schedule" than "agendado" (and don't get me started on "comando", which
is a military person, according to the RAE :) I'm not saying the
translation is incorrect, I'm pretty sure they're the right word for you,
but they're positively weird for me.
