Yes, we are parsing "diff". The -z helped a lot with non-iso characters.
Everything seems to be working fine now without using uri_escape. The
problem is, as Matthieu said, different file systems may handle these
characters in file names differently, so in the long run it could be
better to use uri_escape / uri_unescape.

The problem I run into now is that we are using
use encoding 'utf-8'
as Jakub suggested.
Using this mode, when you uri_escape and uri_unescape a string, you
don't get the original string. I must be missing something but my head
is kind of fuzzy with all the different existing methods to encode
things in utf8 and it is getting pretty late.

Thanks a lot to everyone who helped today, a RFC patch should follow tomorrow.
