Comment 24 for bug 135320

It's not working very well. I was having problems with the stable branch, so I decided to recreated the stable branch from the development one. I just tried to create a checkout of the development repository and I get the error:
bzr checkout /home/antoranz/eclipse/workspace/interfaces stable/
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 31: ordinal not in range(128)

What do you think? I made a backup of my development branch (just in case) and checked it. It seems to be ok. So I'll keep on working on it.
