invalid XML with svn log --xml

Hi,

I think the following is a bug or feature with SVN 1.5 svn log --xml

The problem is that svn log --xml _partly_ emits xml in case of an error.

1. checkout with SVN 1.5
2. do a svn log --xml with SVN 1.4.6.
3. I know that the WC format had changed and this is an "invalid" operation,
but look at the error msg below:
It starts with putting out _some_ XML and then the error msgs, and then the
XML is not valid </log>

IMO, there should be NO xml at all in the case of an error. Better only
issue the error msgs.
Seems that starting the output is done _before_ the actual error checking...

thanks,
Bernhard.
