Many emacs configurations have "C-c, l" bind to fume-list-functions.
IIRC (but I might be wrong) xemacs comes with this key predefined.
Even if I am wrong, there are many (sample?) dotfiles out there on the
net which bind "C-c, l" to fume-list-functions. Maybe it would be a good
idea to bind the svn logmsg function to a different key to avoid a
competition of those two functions?

The pattern "C-c LETTER" is explicitly reserved for users' custom
keybindings (and "C-c NONLETTER" is for mode-specific bindings, I
believe).  Only a user's personal Emacs customizations should bind
"C-c l" to anything.  This is why svn-dev.el offers 'l' as an example
only:

   ;; How to use this: just run `svn-log-message'.  You might want to
   ;; bind it to a key, for example,
   ;;
   ;;   (define-key "\C-cl" 'svn-log-message)
   ;;
   ;; The log message will accumulate in a file.  Later, you can use
   ;; that file when you commit:

If a package actually *takes* "C-c l", well, it's stealing :-).

I can't explain why you saw so many instances on the Net of it being
bound, but probably if we used any other key for the example, a
similar overlap would occur.  The keyspace is not infinite; every
Emacs developer has learned to deal with this restriction.

Go look at the elisp -- (svn-log-message) doesn't bind to any key at all.
"C-c, l" just happens to be the place that *I* chose to bind it.
