Description

A circumstance was found whereby 'resume.xml' (with an e acute) in a module (XOM, FWIIW) was checked out of the repository, but the (Python code) 'sync' to a working directory failed. It failed because Python's os.listdir returned a string for it, not Unicode (although it returned unicode for al lthe plain file). This seems related to the fact that the default filesystem encoding on the platofrm was 'ascii', and this file was not ascii.

We need to create a test for such files, then work with Gump to resolve this issue.
