Please revert this patch. This is a very bad idea, as the encoding of
the files from the repository is common for every user, thus does not
necessarily correspond to the locales. In particular, this patch will
break some XML files as $LastChangedDate$ can safely be used in UTF-8
only (i.e. if users want to use $LastChangedDate$, they should encode
the corresponding files in UTF-8 -- this is a current limitation until
Subversion bug 2332 is fixed).

Note that upstream disagrees concerning this patch, e.g.
