Hg file log viewer shows characters with a bad encoding
Created originally on Bitbucket by dpsenner (Dominik P)
The diff view in the log view looks just fine, but when right clicking on a changed file and hitting "Compare File Revisions" the very same file special characters äöü are shown encoded badly:
ü -> ü
ä -> ä
ö -> ö
ß -> Ã
It might well be the case that this is an issue with the command prompt on this windows computer, but then the diffs in the workbench main view shouldn't be displayed correctly either.
I can observe in the command prompt that the --encoding switch has no effect on the diffs shown by "hg log -p", but the --encoding switch does something on the summary of changesets. Thus, comparing the output of:
hg log -p --encoding=cp850
and the output of:
hg log -p --encoding=cp1252
shows differences only in the summary but umlaut characters are both in the diff and the summary and thus there should have been more differences.
