FIx #446: "non-utf8 paths in repositories blow up repo viewer and reposman" by ensuring the iconv conversion always happens even if source and dest are intended to be the same encoding

# This file should contain all the record creation needed to seed the database with its default values.
# The data can then be loaded with the rake db:seed (or created alongside the db with db:setup).
#
# Examples:
#   
#   cities = City.create([{ :name => 'Chicago' }, { :name => 'Copenhagen' }])
#   Major.create(:name => 'Daley', :city => cities.first)
