[issue1185] hg convert from svn stalls due to umlaut in path

[Marko Käning]

New submission from Marko Käning <mk362 at mch.osram.de>:

I tried to import one of my bigger svn repositories to hg, but the whole
process stopped somewhere in the middle:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 41:

Turned out that this position in the path contained indeed an umlaut, the
letter 'ü' = 'ue'.

The repo was always hosted on linux, checks out fine on linux as well as
on Windows.

So, I guess, I seem to have a problem setting up hg right?!

Here is my locale:

Am using mercurial version 1.0.
