Bug Description

When commiting files to a Subversion repository using Meld, the commit is not performed when the commit comment contains non-ascii characters (the same behaviour has been found when commiting to a Git repo).

This is my commit message:

Meld's standard error shows the following:

------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/task.py", line 110, in iteration
    ret = next(task)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/meld/vcview.py", line 664, in _command_iter
    yield "[%s] %s" % (self.label_text, msg.replace("\n", "\t"))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 29: ordinal not in range(128)
