My best guess is that you have a non-ascii filename in your branch, but your local configuration is indicating that your filesystem only supports ASCII filenames.
Which is also supported by the line:
0.169 encoding stdout as sys.stdout encoding 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'
You probably could do "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8" or some equivalent. I'm not sure why your system feels that it is ascii-only. It is far more common to have systems default to UTF-8 or even latin-1/iso-8859-1.
