see Bug #187267 for a good and simple repro

I think the focus on merge is a red herring. it happened to me when creating a brand new repository. AFAICT any operation on a file name with an extended char will trigger this.

me repro steps are:

cd /usr/share
bzr init
bzr add

Result similar to above:
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in p

This was on a gentoo system.
Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.5-r4, 2.6.16.29-11774_3 i686)
Linux: 2.6.16.29-11774_3 i686 Intel

perhaps it is trying to interpret characters as double byte when in fact it should be treating them as single byte special characters such as um lattes.
