"200 OK" error caused by non-ASCII characters?

It so happens that the log message for revision 31 contains an ISO8859-1
character. It is not the only such revision in the repo, but it is the
first. In the other direction, a plain 'svn log' stops at revision 191,
because the log message for revision 190 also contains ISO8859-1
characters.

Obiously, filtering a dump through iconv is not going to work, since the
size of the log messages (and anything else that might contain non-ASCII
characters) will change. I could write a script that fixed both the log
messages and the lengths, but I'd rather not, unless there is no other
solution.

Any suggestions?
