What platform are you running on? The error you are getting with svnversion,
I don't get, and it's understandable: I am running on Debian GNU/Linux,
with a UTF-8 locale. The filename I²C is already in correct UTF-8, and the
locale is UTF-8. There is no problem converting it the filename (in UTF-8)
from my locale (UTF-8) to UTF-8. =)

The string "I?\194?\178C_dir" in the error message you printed above looks
like correct UTF-8, but it seems like you don't have a UTF-8 locale, so of
course my example tarball didn't work in that case--it made an invalidly
encoded UTF-8 "I²C" string in your filesystem.

Anyway, I think the error as I reported -- failing in the python bindings,
but not with svnversion is still valid. Is anyone else interested in
investigating this?
