It is much more complicated than that. If we're to treat UTF-16 files as
text, we have to teach libsvn_diff to do diffs and merges correctly on
such files, and possibly enhance keyword expansion and newline
conversion, too.
In short, it's a whole can of worms that probably affects 90% of the
client-side code.
