You can probably get away with using col(1) and proper environment
settings to filter the CVS logs:
$ env LANG=en_US LC_ALL=en_US.ISO8859-1 col -b
Søren Schmidt
Søren Schmidt
$ env LANG=C LC_ALL=C col -b
Søren Schmidt
Sren Schmidt
The name of Søren includes "o/" and it is a valid ISO8859-1 character.
col(1) can understand and filter correctly based on this fact, but I'm
not sure if it can strip all the ANSI escape codes that you were
having trouble with. It's just an idea. Might work, or might not...
I don't know how you are using the CVS logs, so you'll have to set up
some Perl pipe to do the work yourself. Perhaps something like:
close(STDIN);
open(STDIN, "env LANG=en_US LC_ALL=en_US.ISO8859-1 col -b |");
