[issue481] filename characterset issues (IOError: invalid mode: wb)

[helauer]

New submission from helauer <Hermann.Lauer at iwr.uni-heidelberg.de>:

just to note: if a filename contains an international character (in this case
'\xe4') and you try
to update (mercurial 0.9.3) on a MacOS X 10.3 with the included python 2.3
you'll get the appended misleading error message. No clue which part is
responsible for this 'feature'.

Thanks to all programmers of mercurial, I like it very much.
