feature or bug?

[guo tang]

Could you tell me who is using file name decoding?

I can see streamclone.py  stream_out is using it.
streamclone::stream_out is only used by sshserver::do_stream_out()
I guess that is some one typed "hg serve --stdio", then typed "stream_out"
into stdin.
But I cannot find out in the python sources who is consuming the unencoded
file names from
steam_out.  Is it used in a typical scenario? Or just a back door for
debugging?

Thanks,
