Thank you for your answer.
Yes, that's exactly the point: what does Windows use for that... and is
svn complying to it?
On Unix, you are right: it works perfectly well when you play with the
LANG variable.
But on Windows, svn log always outputs ISO8859-1 characters.
I tried fiddling with the chcp command or using cmd /U or changing
things in the Regional Settings... no way.
Again, it works well with svn log --xml, so it is really a matter of svn
log deciding which encoding it speaks.
Thank you
Samuel
