i18n: encode output in user's local encoding This makes the translated output obey the HGENCODING environment variable or the preferred encoding as set by the LANG or LC_ALL environment variables. Python 2.4 has a lgettext method which is similar, except that it doesn't know about HGENCODING or the settings in .hgrc.

#!/bin/sh

hg init a
echo a > a/a
hg --cwd a ci -A -m a
hg clone a b
echo b > b/b
hg --cwd b ci -A -m b
chmod 100 a/.hg/store
hg --cwd b push ../a
chmod 700 a/.hg/store
