Issue 331: Encoding problems in command promt http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/331/encoding-problems-in-command-promt

I guess it has some historical reasons. Traditionally CP866 was used in DOS and was inherited by Windows console prompt. CP1251 on the other hand was introduced in Windows and is used for almost all GUI applications. We also have KOI8-R originating from Unix (it is still used there) and supported by Internet browsers under Windows as well. There are not so many programs that are capable to handle all these encodings transparently for the user. Usually some type of conversion is required (e.g. if a text file is created using command line tools if will not be directly readable by Windows-based editors). I do not know if all this is to be supported by THG. Supporting CP1251 is enough for GUI. Probably it could be possible to get the current code page from the command prompt and set it for hgtk. Another way out is for the user to set CP1251 for his console. -- This is an issue notification from bitbucket.org.
