By default it seems that python 3 likes to use the `ascii` codec when you call `decode`. This is fine and good for us US users, but try running `dulwich log` on the dulwich project itself and see what happens (spoiler alert: there are utf8 characters in the commit logs, and no errors are thrown until you actually try to print the string).

There need to be unit tests that check that everything that *could* potentially be a unicode string, actually supports unicode (i.e. `decode` is being called correctly).
