hg convert from svn stalls due to umlaut in path

Hi Matt,

Well, I did my test.


SVN part (access to linux svn server via svn+ssh):

1. Created an empty svn repo on my linux box.

2. Checking out a wc on my WXP client using TortoiseHg

3. Created file and folder containing umlaut 'ae'='ä' in wc on WXP

4. Committing changes to linux box



MERCURIAL part (on linux box):

A. Converting svn repo into hg format
   (one can see here, that the folder and file name actually are readable 
with utf8)

B. Clone repo by WXP client




Step B finally shows that the paths on Windows are wrong after all, 
although the SVN repo was filled from Windows as well. Perhaps this is not 
so surprising, since my Hg is obviously not properly set-up, as can be 
seen from my other posts.


WHAT I COULD NOT PROOVE is the strange behaviour met with my other bigger 
repo.

Why could I successfully convert my tiny test-repo, but stalled with my 
big repo????

This is confusing.

Have no idea how to debug this thing.

Matt, do you have an idea here? Shall I switch on debug messages perhaps? 
If so, how?


Regards,
Marko
