Hm, the Mercurial wiki does mention that's it was/is a problem on Windows. I was surprised because we've been using it for years at work, sharing repositories between Linux and Windows, and we have never been bitten by this. Maybe the latin-1 subset of Unicode works? Or all the files we worked on just happened to have ASCII names (despite us being mostly non-Americans).
