charset in SVN repository

r368730 encodes Rüdiger's name using UTF-8 in CHANGES.

When I look at it, I see junk in my default tools.  I also see junk
when viewing it in viewcvs.cgi, which reports it as iso-8859-1.

Is that just a viewcvs bug and my local setup, or is there
something deeper in svn and/or our repository?

Likely a viewcvs bug/bug in your local setup, if I had to guess. 
There can't possibly be a svn bug here, since svn really doesn't give
a damn about the encoding of the contents of a file in the repository,
it's all just bytes to it.
