Issue body

We just updated our travis-ci configuration in a project by running snapcraft enable-ci travis --refresh The resulting build on Travis fails with a UnicodeDecodeError while parsing the resulting snapcraft.cfg: Snapped neuronify_v1.3.2+git7.f143c69_amd64.snap Pushing neuronify_v1.3.2+git7.f143c69_amd64.snap After pushing, an attempt will be made to release to 'edge' Using local configuration ('.snapcraft/snapcraft.cfg'), changes will not be persisted.
