Description
According to Mercurial's documention one needs to set environment variables like
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
in order to lift off. Otherwise, disaster strikes.

You probably also live in an ASCII-speaking territory. Here's what happens in Japan:

Mercurial is the only Python app that does this to me. Even more brain-damaged, to override this you must set LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL. LANG is not good enough.

1.4 (r60767) release notes say this is fixed.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
The documentation doesn't give much information. Without using UTF-8, I've never seen any problem with Mercurial (but I don't do commits).
