No one here would ever argue against an unambiguous improvement, I
think :-). If you can make a patch that does that, that would be
great. (I'm assuming you're using "transliterate" above to mean
"convert to Subversion's ad hoc '?\NNN' representation".)
Branko is right that the current behavior is a deliberate choice,
though. We felt that log messages being printed to stdout were an
appropriate place for graceful degradation (as opposed to an error).
I'm not opposed to printing a warning to stderr as well, saying that
some log messages couldn't be fully converted; that way the user would
see the warning even if the log output were being redirected to a file.
If you have time to come up with a patch for that (independently of
the other change discussed above), that'd be great!
