Editing svn:log property on file

Hi,

I'm trying to setup an subversion replication between two servers (both
running version 1.6.11). When I try to replicate the data, I get the
following error in the logs:

Cannot accept 'svn:log' property because it is not encoded in UTF-8 [500,
#125005]

I've figured out which property it is, but the problem is that it is the
property on the file that was modified itself, rather than on the revision.

This is the "svn:log" property on the revision, which is not causing the
problem (I've modified it to remove and special characters and ran it
through xxd):

$ svn propget --revprop -r 6107 --strict svn:log "
http://subversion/src/Flow/"
When printing a form through the full task list the clients NHI number has
B and B beside it for cds.

This is the "svn:log" property on the actual file which was modified, which
I believe is causing the issue (see the formatting around "client"):

$ svn proplist -v servicePack_merge.c5x
Properties on 'servicePack_merge.c5x':
  svn:log
    When printing a form through the full task list the client?\146s NHI
number has <B> and </B> beside it (for cds).
  svn:author
    Xing
  svn:date
    2004-04-28T01:31:40.000000Z

I've tried modifying this property on the file, as opposed to the revision,
with not much luck. The following command lets me modify the revision
"svn:log" as opposed to the one associated directly with the file:

svn propedit -r 6107 --revprop svn:log "
http://subversion/src/Flow/trunk/servicePack_merge.c5x"

I've also tried this command to edit the property:

svn propedit -r 6107 svn:log
http://subversion/src/Flow/trunk/servicePack_merge.c5x
svn: Try 'svn help' for more info
svn: Cannot specify revision for editing versioned property 'svn:log'

But still no luck. Can anyone tell me how to modify the "svn:log" property
on the file itself, as opposed to the revision property? Has anyone seen
this issue before?

Thank you
