The normal output should be platform-locale, but all XML output is
supposed to be UTF-8. I say supposed, because Subversion assumes UTF-8
data everywhere and doesn't verify in all places that it actually *is*
UTF-8. So, if an svn:log property doesn't contain valid UTF-8, svn log
--xml won't output valid UTF-8...
