umlauts in file names between OSX and Windows

[Jouni Airaksinen]

OK Thanks. Not sure though how is the extension supposed to help with the 
problem in OSX. I noticed that in OSX Mercurial thinks the file is new (?) 
but doesn't show missing file (!) until the "new" file is removed. So 
somehow it's linking the file as the correct one even though status tells 
otherwise.

Regarding the extensions not included with Mercurial.. anyone has good 
enterprise pattern to handle extensions and hooks distribution? Especially 
when there is mix of Windows, OSX and Linux users. Windows users seem the 
have the most problems because of ie. Eclipse has it's own HG. I've tried 
to instruct not to use the bundled hg but TortoiseHg's Hg, but then again 
it's whole python and stuff in one package so extensions have to be 
absolute paths and cannot easily use modules not included in TortoseHg 
package. It's also very labourous to handle the hgrc settings manually for 
each user.  I have to inspect the %include, but Windows users generally 
would prefer the GUI stuff for all settings and rest, so I have to provide 
some template hgrc (and updates into it) to "enforce" proper setup. That 
said I really welcome the relative paths fix for hooks though.
