hgserve encoding

[Jérôme Godbout]

I'm not sure if I have find every problems:
1. I have remove the hgweb.config encoding and let him choose.
2. There was also a subrepos that was not copied to the new file server
(the personne who did it though that this subrepos is no more used, so no
need to copy it! D'oh! still the error is a bit misleading, subrepos not
found could have been a funnier error message).
Seem to work so far, but I didn't use it much so far. Thanks for the
answer, yes we have non ascii file and characters inside some file (Qml
file are utf-8, i18n file name might too have non ascii characters).

Would be nice if mercurial would be utf-8 all the way. And only the local
update would convert to windows encoding from/to local files only (.hg into
UTF-8 encoding). Would simplify the encoding cross platform mind puzzle. I
guess that's wishful thinking and would result into other problems, hope
one day Windows handle UTF-8 properly all the way around. Maybe I just
don't get all the encoding difference with hg and windows/linux, but I
still have hard time understand what is in which encoding for crossplatform
repos, https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/CharacterEncodingOnWindows
confuse me more then it help

Thanks again for the tips,
Jerome
