---------------------------------

             Summary: Running svn with --xml may emit XML with invalid char=
acters
                 Key: SVN-4919
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4919
             Project: Subversion
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: cmdline client
    Affects Versions: all
            Reporter: Branko =C4=8Cibej


This is demonstrated by {{prop_tests.py/xml_unsafe_author2()}}, where we ha=
ve an author name that contains a {{\b}} backspace control character. {{svn=
 list --xml}} emits that author name, making the output invalid.

We should consider extending the client's XML schema so that it can encode =
such strings in an XML-safe manner, by adding an "encoding" attribute to th=
e containing element. The encoding could be base-64, which is suitable for =
parsing, or quoted-printable, which is also suitable for human readers.
