You're right. And worse, our UTF8 routines think that they should convert
to/from a character set, but that's not true after teh switch. The reason
I didn't say LC_MESSAGES is that svnserve uses some C library functions
that are affected by the LC_CTYPE locale (isalpha, isdigit, isalnum and
possibly others). I don't know if this is a real problem. If so, we should
add LC_CTYPE as well. I'll change to LC_MESSAGES in any case.
