Now I see, my example was incorrect. Of course 1.patch should contain all
changesets from the very start to the tip. If I correct the "hg export" line
to contain all the patches ("hg export -r 0:tip -o ../1.patch") 
it looks like your recipe works in a test environment.

However, on a real repo it fails:

$ cd realrepo
$ env LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R hg export -o ~/tmp/1.patch -r0:91
$ iconv -f koi8-r -t utf-8 < ~/tmp/1.patch > ~/tmp/2.patch
$ cd ~/tmp/
$ hg init test7 && cd test7
$ hg import ~/tmp/2.patch

and here it opens $HGEDITOR, why?
