SVN -> HG import of Mixed Encoding Files

Hi,

This may be related to the whole "German umlauts" thing in some way.

I currently have a SVN repository I'm trying to import.  It has now
failed due to the fact that certain files are in ASCII (which is about
the same as UTF-8, so was accepted happily) and certain files are in
UTF-16.

Naturally, when the UTF-16 files were encountered, Mercurial refused
to take it, since it's obviously not UTF-8, which HG had determined to
be the prevalent encoding.

Any idea on how best to handle this so both types of files are
accepted into the HG repository?

Thanks,
Peter Yu
