Re: Encoding of .subversion config files?

The question of which encoding to assume for configuration files
shared amongst users isn't unique to subversion --- any program that
has shared config files will run into this.

I believe common practice is to just read shared config files with the
process's current locale's encoding: if people want to share, they
need to use ASCII, or agree on a common encoding.

So I think the Subversion client should use the current locale's
encoding for reading all configuration files.

On the server side, what does Apache do about this? From what people
have said, it doesn't call setlocale, so that means it uses the "C"
locale. I think the best we can do on the server side, then, is to
assume UTF-8.
