Is that only 'some unicode' or all of non-ascii characters?

Not sure.  I'll see if I can spot any patterns.  My current list has a ton of false positives in it and I'm weeding those out.  I should know more tomorrow as I think I figured out where those are coming from and am reprocessing the cvs tree.

Skimming through the list of messages it appears to be characters found in names, but those are the main places where unicode occurs in the first place.  

I'm only looking at messages that didn't match between cvs and git, so I can't speak to any unicode characters that convert correctly.

The config change worked - confirmed issue not present in run2.  I spotted one or two odd unicode characters, but they were present in cvs as well (likely typos).
