I try this plugin and have persistent error when running inside any 
branch (with command `bzr version-info`).

bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode 
byte 0xc3 in position 56: ordinal not in range(128)
   at C:\Python24\lib\codecs.py line 186
   in writelines

When I run command in debugger I see that in method rio.py: 
Stanza.to_lines() when you go:

for tag, value in self.items:

then when tag is 'date' then value on my russian win32 is
'2005-12-29 08:14:33 (Thursday, December 29, 2005, 
\xc3\xf0\xe5\xf6\xe8\xff, \xd2\xf3\xf0\xf6\xe8\xff (\xe7\xe8\xec\xe0))'

or in string form is:

2005-12-29 08:14:33 (Thursday, December 29, 2005, Греция, Турция (зима))

that equivalent to english form:

2005-12-29 08:14:33 (Thursday, December 29, 2005, Greece, Turkey (winter))

I.e. obtained long date form contain description of current time zone in 
default (russian) language.

I think simple fix for this is decoding flat string with 
bzrlib.user_encoding.

When I run with flag --format=python I don't have any encodings errors 
but output looks like a mix of flat strings and unicode strings:

version_info ={'branch_nick': 
u'E:\\work\\Python\\bzr\\plugins\\zip-exporter',
  'clean': None,
  'date': '2005-12-29 08:31:45 (Thursday, December 29, 2005, 
\xc3\xf0\xe5\xf6\xe8\xff, \xd2\xf3\xf0\xf6\xe8\xff (\xe7\xe8\xec\xe0))',
  'revision_id': u'bialix at ukr.net-20051114211523-e15049ea116cc221',
  'revisions': None,
  'revno': 9}


I think it's not good because information of string encoding is lost.
