Dear the development team of monotone,

Not in the C locale, "mtn status" shows garbled characters.

I guess, in the function "revision_summary" of the file 
cmd_ws_commit.cc, you create the instance of utf8 class with the 
constructor, but the argument string is encoded in user's locale, 
not in UTF-8. Because F() returns what gettext() returns.

static void
revision_summary(revision_t const & rev, branch_name const & 
branch, utf8 & summary)
{
  string out;
...
  out += (F("Current branch: %s") % branch).str() += '\n';
...
    summary = utf8(out);
}

I attach a sample fix.

Regards,
Tomohisa Tanaka (Tomohisa.Tanaka@gmail.com)
