+   Fix issue #4082 ("'svn log --with-all-revprops' over ra-dav
+   intolerant of XML-unsafe property values").
+   Justification:
+     'Tis better to succeed than to fail.  Unless of course you're
+     talking about successfully doing evil, in which case 'tis better
+     to fail.  But we're not talking about doing evil here.  Unless
+     you think XML is evil.  But seriously, these commits introduce a
+     protocol change for WebDAV.  I suspect that might disqualify it
+     in some folks' eyes from backport to a patch release rather
+     automatically.  But the protocol change is (as all our other
+     protocol changes are) designed to maintain compatibility across
+     client and server versions.  If the client advertises support for
+     the new behavior, and the server has such support, the bugfix
+     logic is activitated.  A patched client will not trouble an
+     unpatched server; nor vice-versa.  Further, the effects of the
+     corrected behavior do not persist, so there's no dataset damage
+     imposed for users who would roll this change back out of their
+     systems (by reverting to a prior release).  Therefore, cmpilato
+     can't think of a good reason not to backport the change.
+   Notes:
+     A backport branch (coming soon!) is required for a clean merge.
