Comment 13 for bug 1031679

@Andrew: just wondering. I noticed that your output does not indicate that the plugin was loaded.

The first two lines (about the default encoding) after the command should appear. If they don't, the plugin is not active. These lines get printed on stderr.

$ bzr fast-export --plain ~/etc > ~/file.fi
Default encoding before reload: ascii
Default encoding after reload: utf-8

But anyway, it does not matter. The workaround only allows successful export. The import still is an issue because of an encoding issue.
