German umlauts in file names

[Jens.Wulf at sew-eurodrive.de]

Though I can't help directly: to me it is unclear what your setup is. You work on both linux and windows, but it is not clear on which system your example command lines are issued and what the history of the repo in use is (cloned from other system? which one? etc...)

Furthermore I wonder how hg should fix a certain problem at all: if you create utf8 filenames containing umlauts on your linux box and then clone to a windows box (which uses some 8-bit encoding), the repo will still be encoded as utf8 (filenames AND content). hg cannot convert filenames and content; the mapping between utf8 and some 8-bit character set is not...well, don't know the word, it is 'eineindeutig' in german, but means you can't easily convert one to the other and back without probably losing or changing data.
