Title:
  [master] bzr can't handle files with filenames that can't be decoded
  to unicode

Status in Breezy:
  Triaged
Status in Bazaar:
  Confirmed
Status in bzr package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Bazaar treats file names as Unicode, not as byte strings.  If you have
  files in the working tree whose name is not valid in the filesystem
  encoding, they cause problems.

  ----

  I try to use bazaar to track changes in a wine directory. i have
  problems with some folder name when I try to add it.

  $ bzr status
  added:
    drive_c/windows/profiles/mildred/Mes vidéos@
  $ bzr ci -m 'try to add Mes vidéos'
  bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 61: ordinal not in range(128)
