There are non-utf8 non-ascii files in the Python source tree. Either
there should be a way to handle them in Mercurial or they have to be
converted to UTF-8 in a proper way (i.e., don't forget to rewrite charset
directives).
Other tan that - I am pondering a switch from SVN to hg in other
projects using Python process as an example and asking questions that are
slightly off-topic (but only slightly).

We have files in at least two different encodings - utf-8 and cp1251 for
user-visible text-files on w32.
