filename with unicode characters : ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError

[Mildred]

Just try the following command :

$ bzr add ngöndro.moon
bzr: ERROR: exceptions.UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf6' in position 50: ordinal not in range(128)
  at /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/bzrlib/trace.py line 102
  in mutter

-----

Obviously, it is the 'ö' character that can't be encoded in ascii somewhere ...

$ bzr --version
bzr (bazaar-ng) 0.8.2

This should have been fixed already in bzr-0.9.
Is it possible to update to either bzr.dev or bzr-0.9 and let us know if this has been fixed?

[Alexander Belchenko (bialix)]

upgrade to bzr 0.9, please

[John A Meinel (jameinel)]

Haven't heard anything, so I'm assuming this is fixed in bzr-0.9 by the encoding changes.
