Bug with Special Character in log message

Hello folks,

We’re running across an issue when using svn log on one of our repositories.
We regularly execute a command like the following for reporting purposes:

svn log --xml --non-interactive https://our.server.com/svn/TEST/

When we run this command it truncates the output at a revision that has a
strange character in the log message. It fails to put the closing </log> in
the XML and spits out the following message:

svn: REPORT of '/svn/TEST/!svn/bc/154': 200 OK

I noticed that the revprops file for the offending revision contains a
special character and gets recognized as ISO-8859 as opposed to ASCII like
all of the rest of the 7000+ revprops files. I have attached that revprops
file.

I’m told that newer versions of subversion don’t allow log messages with bad
characters. But I’m wondering if it could be patched to file more
gracefully for existing log messages with bad characters. Our audit folks
don't want us going back and mucking with old log messages.

Thanks.
