[Bug 791839] Re: bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte ..ordinal not in range

[Fabien Tassin]

if you really think bzr is not to blame, then etckeeper should stop using bzr and move back to git like in debian.
etckeeper needs to be able to handle anything in /etc, without LANG or anything in a user profile, it's a system tool.
