This set looks great, applied.

Good question.

File contents are all pure 8-bit. If someone commits something with a
particular non-ASCII, non-UTF-8 encoding, we can't arbitrarily declare
that it's UTF-8 in the web interface, nor can we attempt to convert it
(especially given that we don't know what the encoding is!). And of
course, we'll have a fun time displaying binaries in hgweb.

Everything else (filenames, usernames, commit messages) ought to be
stored as UTF-8 eventually.
