I found some substantial problems with r10788 in my review, so I can't
nominate it yet. But I agree that we must fix this problem before
releasing 1.1. It's dangerous to release a 1.x release with performance
or functionality regressions which might dissuade people from upgrading
from 1.(x-1).

(Also, how did you imagine that r10788 would pose no risk to the client
if we don't activate svn_utf_initialize()? How would
svn_utf_initialize() do any good if we didn't change the code path of
actual translation functions? As it turns out, it looks like we might
experience significant performance degradation if we don't call
svn_utf_initialize().)

I took the ten minutes to figure out what was going on here and checked
in a fix (r10841). I'll nominate it for 1.1.

Of course, it's also a big problem that we don't have enough safety
checks in "svn switch --relocate".
