I understand, but in this case "svn log --xml" should have output "ü" as
some strange character (maybe not even a valid UTF-8 sequence) and not
just keep it in "plain" ISO-8859-1 (which is what happens), right?
This is the xxd dump snippet that contains the char in question
(produced by "svn log -r6803 --verbose --xml \
svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS | xxd"):

Our server is running svn 1.1.1 (r11581).
Note for server admins: we should upgrade this ASAP. The latest version
for 1.1.x series is 1.1.4.

I'd suggest we keep the hack for now while the real issue (Subversion
accepting invalid input on the commit message) is fixed. Otherwise we
would risk the website script breaking again...
BTW, does anyone know whether it's possible to change the commit message
of a specific revision on Subversion? That's because even when we fix
the issue, that invalid char will still be there...
