[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#542545: bzrtools: commit message with non-ASCII characters refused in ‘bzr shell’

[Ben Finney]

Package: bzrtools
Version: 1.17.0-1
Severity: normal

When using ‘bzr shell’, I am unable to enter a commit message
containing non-ASCII characters:

=====
bzr burn.subprocess:119/> commit --message "Begin writing ‘get_media_info’ function."
Unhandled error:
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 14: ordinal not in range(128)
=====

If I then exit the shell in the same terminal, the same commit message
is handled fine:

=====
bzr burn.subprocess:119/> exit
$ bzr commit --message "Begin writing ‘get_media_info’ function."

Committed revision 120.
=====

Any characters accepted on the ‘bzr’ command line should be accepted
the same in ‘bzr shell’.
