            Bug ID: 5754
           Summary: Author name encoding issues in obsoletion marker
                    "obsfate"
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 4.4.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: evolution
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: kwi at kwi.dk

There's a character encoding bug in how the "obsfate" is recorded.

I keep seeing things like this, as I move between Windows (cp1252) and Linux
(utf-8), though the actual committer name shows up just fine:

  obsolete:    rewritten by S├╕ren L├╕vborg as 9ea591f267a6
  obsolete:    rewritten as 334971:0e378c3b9d45 by S<F8>ren L<F8>vborg

Looks like the name is stored in the platform encoding, instead of UTF-8.

This is using Mercurial 4.4.2 and evolve 7.0.0.
