I'm setting those messages programatically through JavaSVN (actually I'm
doing commit and commit message includes \r's). I understand your point and
agree that client should convert commit message not to contain \r's before
making a commit.

On the other side, as far as I understand, svn:log is not special kind of
property (except that it is set automatically on commit), so it should be
possible to set it to any value in any encoding or even binary data as well
as any other revision property (probably doing "svn propset -rX --revprop
svn:log -F fileWithWindowsEols" will do the same). Svnserve behaves
consistently here, preserving svn:log property value in log message, but
mod_dav_svn does not (the log message it reports is not same as the value
stored in revprop file of the corresponding revision).

I think behaviour of the mod_dav_svn and svnserve should be at least
consistent, otherwise one could get different log messages depending on the
protocol one uses; both shouldn't touch revision property values, leaving
eol convertion up to the client.
