Before this series, 'progress' and 'histedit' may cause split at
intermediate multi-byte sequence (= show broken multi-byte sequence).

I post this series for stable, because this problem can easily catch
eye of end users using multi-byte sequence.

But I can also understand that this is not so serious from the point
of view of 'core functionality of Mercurial', as you say.

I can agree with treating this series as one for non-stable.
