Another solution might be for svnmerge.py to try svn info --xml if it
is available -- I believe that will always output in english. I don't
know when the --xml option was added but it should work for all recent
svn clients.

This shouldn't be a major change, and if you want to attempt it,
patches are welcome.

I believe that svnmerge.py has always done this. However, some recent
commits may have changed the behavior unintentionally as far as the
svn info output is concerned. Can you verify if the problem occurs
with rev 29665?
