Can't add any non-ascii files on mercurial for Windows?

[Nathan Davis]

And just for the fun of it, I tried manually hacking together a patch file as follows (utf-8 encoded, no BOM), which did manage to import into the repository, but showed up as a gibberish filename.

# HG changeset patch

10646 seems to be an invalid code page (at least chcp doesn't recognize it)


Also, I tried changing 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP 
from its current value of 1252 to 65001.  Doing so made the system 
unable to boot.

You said that cp65001, can be mostly made to work, but I have not had success with it.  Can you elaborate?

 UTF-8 or UTF-16le, and the name comes from ISO/IEC 10646 which is

That'd be cp65001, which can be mostly made to work.

Also note that Mercurial ignores the _OEM_ code page (typically used by
console apps) and only looks at the _ANSI_ code page (typically used by
GUI apps and filesystem APIs).
