### Please describe the problem.

Unicode characters in metadata are pruned/converted/lost:

    % git annex metadata -s caption='Unicode → … characters' test.W1z7M7.txt
    metadata test.W1z7M7.txt
      caption=Unicode  & characters
      caption-lastchanged=2015-03-04@08-55-26
      lastchanged=2015-03-04@08-55-26
    ok
    (Recording state in git...)
