Public bug reported:

Mac OS X stores files names with Unicode characters with a different
decomposition format than on GNU/Linux. Bzr has some trouble to handle
that (see
http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/UnicodeSupport#Mac%20OS%20X%20issues)
and to make the transition between different OS. We can have files
reported has not versionned, two files, etc. and it can be worse when we
manipulate those files in some tests.

So, we must avoid Unicode characters but we still want to test with Unicode file names in our functional tests. My proposition is :
  1) Remove those files from bzr.
  2) Generate those files within the test

 BTW, we have many duplication is test's resources. Auto-generating
files inside the test from a template we be better anyway.
