unicode - Mercurial commit messages and log, what encoding is supported, does Hg care at all? -


i tried doing simple commit through wrapper library mercurial, using simple text of unicode:æøåÆØÅ commit message. written text file , given mercurial appropriate parameter:

hg commit --logfile file

if subsequently @ repository tortoisehg, characters reproduced correctly. on console, mangled:

 [c:\temp] :hg log changeset:   0:6a0911410128 tag:         tip user:        lasse v. karlsen  date:        wed dec 01 21:48:54 2010 +0100 summary:     unicode:æøåÆØÅ

if redirect output of hg log file, , open up, æøåÆØÅ reproduced correctly.

so, question this:

  • can ask hg write log file directly, or have redirect standard output?
  • will cause problems python encoding console, ie. characters make hg crash instead of mangling output?
  • is there known supported encoding commit messages should adhere to?

or simple:

  • mercurial doesn't care, takes contents of file give it, whatever content, , stores commit message. when producing log, dump console falling prey whatever limitations python console output library has in regard?

the following may not solve issue can debug it.

check out : https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/encodingstrategy

if redirect output of hg log file, , open up, æøåÆØÅ reproduced correctly.

so @ least mercurial storing commit information correctly. output messed up.

some work happening along these lines not related this

[edit: missed fact on windows]

see last paragraph on how deal character set compatibility problems: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/characterencodingonwindows

it says:

  • set console code page match system code page
  • override mercurial's encoding environment variable
    • setting hgencoding override detected system character set.
  • override mercurial's encoding command-line option
    • using global --encoding option allow set preferred encoding on each command.
  • use gui-based tools interact mercurial
    • this eliminates problem, eliminating pesky console entirely.
  • use linux/unix , utf-8
    • this makes bill gates cry.
