Hi,

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

I do not know how to find out which file name bugged hg, but I guess it's 
connected to umlauts (same error message like in Lars Kuhtz's post on 
subject "German umlauts in file names.")
