Hi,
So far, all systems from which we accessed our Mercurial repositories
have been Linux machines, configured with a UTF-8 locale.
We want to give some Windows machines access to some of our
repositories. But now the problem is that if a file with a non-ASCII
filename is committed on Windows, the filename is not properly shown on
Linux and vice versa.
I understand that the problem is that Mercurial doesn't interpret the
encoding of the file name. But it's unclear how to solve the problem.
The Wiki was not very helpful regarding this. The information ranges
from "too bad, Mercurial won't help you here" to "we have a plan on how
to fix the problem", but because the idea is originally from 2011, it's
unclear whether or not it was implemented in the meantime.
What would you recommend to solve this problem? The Windows clients
access the repositories with TortoiseHG. Ideally, in the repository, we
would like to have everything encoded in UTF-8.
-Manuel
