No solution at this time that I'm aware of. Well, you could set LANG
to C or some other locale that uses only ASCII characters. This seems
to be this issue:

I don't think that should be the case, since the keyword substitution
happens entirely on the client side, so unless you're checking out a
working copy, then changing your locale on your client, then
updating, all the keywords should be expanded in a way that makes
sense to you, locally.
