function log_default throw an UnicodeDecodeError on Windows(Chinese)

[BobXGY]

Windows console default encoding is gbk. Function log_default can not specific an encoding type. once I call svn_remote.log_default() to get a svn repo's log with encoding utf8, there will be an error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:/Proj/Python/myscript/module_svn.py", line 15, in <module>
    main()
  File "D:/Proj/Python/myscript/module_svn.py", line 10, in main

I add an argument to function external_command, class CommonBase, in common_base.py, this problem has been solved. can author do some optimization?

I solved it when add an argument encoding="utf-8" to subprocess.check_output in function external_command in common_base.py.

I used python 3.10.5 on window10
