UnicodeDecodeError when attempting --export-storage in 1.1.4

[gx42]

I've been trying to export my calendar from 1.1.4, but I keep getting the following exception:

gx42@PC:~/bin/Radicale-1.1.4$ python3 radicale.py --config config --export-storage ./export/

Radicale otherwise functions normally. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) and Python 3.4.3.

The problem seems to be that Radicale 1.1.4 can't read the calendar data. The exception doesn't happen in the export code.

It looks like your storage folder contains some binary file, that shouldn't be there.

You were right- I had a .hg directory under Collections which I didn't think would affect Radicale, but removing it fixed the exporting issue. Thanks!
