I see. It still bothers me that 'svnadmin' and 'svnlook' will fail if
they can't convert a filename to UTF-8 and back, whereas basically all
Unix utilities, like 'cp' and 'mkdir', somehow manage not to care. But
assuming that the libraries *aren't* going to change in this way, it's
certainly easier to export the current locale to hook scripts than to,
e.g., manufacture a trivial 'identity' locale mapped to Unicode
codepoints 0-255, for use when you don't have a locale but need one
strictly for red tape round-trip conversions.
