Thanks David. This looks like a bug in bzr-svn. My best guess is that it is
trying to combine a Unicode string with a regular python string. But that
python string contains a character >127.

I would guess that the SVN repository has non-ascii filenames, and that bzr-svn
just needs to properly decode them into Unicode. Or possibly encode whatever is
Unicode right now into UTF-8 before combining them.
