Windows, in its apparently infinite wisdom, has different default
encodings for the console and the GUI, which means only one of the
following can behave correctly:

hg log > foo
type foo

hg log > foo
notepad foo

Mercurial chooses to make the latter work. You can work around this with
--encoding <whatever codepage your console is using>. Or just ignore it.
