Which is meaningless, since under Unix, the locale is not related
to the OS, but to the process: one can have a shell session with
UTF-8 locales and another shell session with ISO-8859-* locales.
Unfortunately the svn client doesn't remember which one was used
in the first place. The consequence is that if the user works
with different locales, things go wrong (even if the user doesn't
execute any command with non-ASCII characters in its arguments).
