            Bug ID: 5597
           Summary: Need a way to specify source encoding when converting
                    from CVS
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 4.2
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: convert
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: vas at mpeks.tomsk.su

When the source CVS repository has non-unicode log messages (e.g. the log
messages are in the KOI8-R Cyrillic encoding) there is no way to import them
correctly. They become gibberish after running "hg convert". 

We need an option or parameter to "hg convert" to specify the source repo
encoding.

A CVS repo with KOI8-R logs is available upon request for testing.
