convert: convert URLs to UTF-8 for Subversion Preamble: for comprehension, note that the `path` of geturl() would better be called `path_or_url` (the argument of the call of getsvn() is called `url`). For HTTP(S) URLs, the changes don’t make a difference, as they are restricted to ASCII. For file URLs, the reasoning is the same as for paths: we have to roundtrip with what Subversion is doing. When the locale encoding is ISO-8859-15, trying to convert a SVN repo `file:///tmp/a€` failed before like this: file:///tmp/a%A4 does not look like a Subversion repository to libsvn version 1.14.0 Decoding the path using the locale encoding can fail. In this case, we have to bail out, as Subversion won’t be able to do anything useful with the path.
