SVNKit uses svn:charset property, but I'd like to clarify that it has
not been "used for years" and only available in the latest beta version
of SVNKit.
We'll change its namespace to "svnkit", so that it would be
svnkit:charset and svn:charset will never get into release version of
SVNKit.
I also would like to say that I see certain positive side in such sort
of a unintentional "hostage-taking" - about a year ago, when I asked
whether there are any plans to provide charset conversion support in
Subversion either using new svn:charset or existing svn:mime-type
property - I was said that no one interested in that and most probably
there will be no such feature in Subversion.
