**[tickets:#8529] support unicode in repo branch names**
**Status:** open
**Milestone:** unreleased
**Created:** Tue Dec 05, 2023 07:10 PM UTC by Dave Brondsema

**Owner:** nobody
Currently a branch name with unicode in it is browsable, but only if you go
their directly. If you go to a code tool it'll try to do a redirect and get
this error
```
File "/src/allura/Allura/allura/lib/custom_middleware.py", line 638, in
__call__
start_response(status, headers, exc_info)
ValueError: unicode object contains non latin-1 characters
```
