Try this:
in bzrlib/add.py on line 55 there should be "file_list = ['.']" try
changing that to "file_list = [u'.']".

That should make python try and read things correctly.
If that doesn't work, what is your LANG value?

Try setting it to something like:

export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
bzr add -v thread.h

(I don't expect your real language is US english, but I don't know the
codes for greek. The important part is the .UTF-8)


In general, it looks like python things your encoding is ASCII, and when
it tries to decode your greek characters, it can't handle it. But I'm
wondering if that is because we forgot to ask for the path as a unicode
string, or if it is because of your system settings.
