801,Encoding problems with strings,jean-baptiste.note@…,hvr,"Hello,

My git commit logs have UTF-8 characters in them (essentially, unbreakable spaces, due to a lingering finger on the alt key in a UTF8 environment). This yields the following error:

Python Traceback

Changing the locale environment variable in apache with SetEnv to be UTF8 does not change anything in the plugin (it does change for python, though, as I had to generate the associated locale before trac could work again). So I resorted to the following hack. I'm a complete python newbie, so i don't know if this makes sense.
