I have a branch which is specifically focusing on making unicode
filenames work. It is available from:
http://bzr.arbash-meinel.com/branches/bzr/encoding

However, it is not complete yet (not all command support everything that
they should).
I don't have a lot of time right now to work on it. But I try to get to
it when I can. (I've updated at least half of the commands to support
reading/writing to the screen properly, and I need to work on unicode
filenames. The tricky part with filenames is that Mac OSX (which I use)
normalizes unicode filenames in an odd way. So we need to be able to
re-normalize them internally.)

You can test out that branch to see how well it works. And if you want
to continue my work, I would be happy to review your changes and pull
them in.
