            Bug ID: 6821
           Summary: hg init fails when HGENCODING is set to utf-8 and the
                    repository name contains non-ASCII characters
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 6.4.2
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: rainer.bauer at telenot.de
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org
    Python Version: ---

Environment: Windows 10 21H2 19044.3086
hg version : Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 6.4.2)
             (I am using the latest version of TortoiseHg)

I was hit by this issue, when I called 'hg log' from my program.

However, when I tried to reproduce it in a command prompt, the error already
occured when I tried to create the repository.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open command prompt (cmd.exe)
2) cd to a directory with write permission (e.g. %userprofile%)
3) 'hg init ää' (executed successful)
4) 'SET HGENCODING=utf-8'
5) 'hg init üü' (fails with error: 'abort: decoding near
'nd\hg_bug\��/.hg/00c': 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 34:
invalid start byte!')

I tried to set the codepage to unicode (CHCP 65001), but the error persists.

Here is the trace when 'hg init --traceback üü' is executed:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mercurial\windows.pyc", line 184, in posixfile
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified:
'C:\\tmp\\hg_bug\\üü/.hg/00changelog.i'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  File "mercurial\encoding.pyc", line 231, in fromlocal
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 34:
