** Description changed:

  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
+   1) Remove those files from bzr.

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