python svn.wc.revision_status unicode handling bug

Hi folks,

I use svn and bzr a lot, and while tracking down a bug in bzr-svn, I believe
I've found a bug in the python bindings for svn.

The original bzr-svn bug is found here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-svn/+bug/185401

However, as mentioned in that bug's log, I can reproduce this problem with
plain SVN and it's python bindings, no bzr involved at all.

$ cd /tmp
$ tar -xzvf bzr-svn-185401.tar.gz
$ cd bzr-svn-185401
$ python
 Python 2.4.4 (#2, Jan 3 2008, 13:36:28)

I've attached the bzr-svn-185401.tar.gz package that just contains a simple
repository and working copy with just two commits of a file and a directory
with a "²" character in their name.
