bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character ...

[David Förster]

Hi there,

I'm trying to make a checkout of a remote subversion repository using
the bzr-svn plugin (into a shared repository). Attached is the full
backtrace bzr spits out after copying some revisions. I tried setting
LC_ALL to de_DE (iso8859-15 which works well for svn itself) and
de_DE.UTF-8 but that didn't change anything.

I'm using bzr 0.17 and bzr-svn 0.3.4 on Debian.

Regards, David
