Hello,

I'm using emacs with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8. When using C-x v + (`vc-update')
on a file versionned with SVN, emacs barfs saying it can't parse the
output from "svn update". Indeed, SVN said "À la révision 123" whereas
"At revision 123" was expected. The following patch adds "LC_MESSAGES=C"
to process-environment before calling external tools; this solves the
problem for my case.

Thanks, the patch looks good.  I've checked it into the Emacs
repository.
