Howdy,
I'm trying to figure out why svnlook sometimes seems to output UTF-8
and sometimes does not, depending on the subcommand. Here's what I get
for `info`:
% svnlook info /usr/local/svnroot -r3448

I think I can ?\194?\171eliminate?\194?\187 the `_encode()` and
`_decode()` methods. So let's see how things work with them doing
nothing.
But here's what i get for `diff`:
% svnlook diff /usr/local/svnroot -r3448

Notice how in the output of `info` (or `log`, for that matter) I get
bogus escapes around the word "eliminate", while when they properly
show up as « and » in the output of `diff`. I'm assuming that svnlook
is converting from UTF-8 to something else, but only for the log
message. How annoying. I don't have any UTF-8 locales on this box
(very old FreeBSD), but when I try `svn diff` on a newer box with the
environment variable set, it works:
% LANG=en_US.UTF-8 svn log -r3448

I think I can «eliminate» the `_encode()` and `_decode()` methods. So
let's see how things work with them doing nothing.
I get the escapes if I set LANG=C
LANG=C svn log -r3448

So, my question is this: How can I get `svnlook info` to properly
output UTF-8 characters like `svnlook diff` does, without setting the `
$LANG` environment variable (since the box has no UTF-8 locales)?
Many thanks,
David
