Unicode issues when downloading distribution package from repository.

Certain unicode characters seem to cause problems with the download option (characters get replaced by "\t").

This repository contains a directory named "kaptĉapelo" which demonstrates the issue. When downloading the archive the character "ĉ" is replaced by "\t" or "?" in the archive.

On the server side filesystem the directory name is correct. However running darcs dist seems to create a file in which the character is already broken, so it seems that the issue is related to darcs (see Issue 1863 unicode filenames).

A proposed solution is to use other methods of packaging the repository source code instead of the darcs dist command (e.g. tar).
