I'm not specifically familiar with this bug in bzr 0.13. Though a general
recommendation is to always upgrade to the latest version of Bazaar (currently
0.17).

It *looks* like your project has a Unicode filename, but your local encoding
(LANG) is set to 'C' or some other ascii-only encoding. Which means we do not
know how to represent that file on your filesystem.

We obviously should be giving a better error for this, but you might try
something like:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 bzr co ...

Which will give bzr the hint that you are using UTF-8 encoding on your
filesystem. If that works, then you can probably set your LANG in your startup
scripts.

(Note, it doesn't have to be en_US, it could be de_DE, or any other language,
the important part for us is the .UTF-8)
