One boundary revision is not enough.  You can't guarantee that all
the old-encoding changesets come before the first new-encoding
changeset.  Mercurial is distributed.  Even in an all-Windows
environment, after multiple cloning-pulling-pushing between multiple
developers the changeset order will vary internally among the clones
--even after everybody syncs up.

I'm not sure you need a repository encoding though, except
possibly as a transitional measure.
