I'm sure this "issue" is directly related to unix nature of these tools and therefore to the habit
of looking at filesystem names as bytestrings. It's OK on Linux, but *completely* wrong on Windows,
where all filenames should be interpreted as unicode strings. So both gnuwin32 ported tools and hg
as well (because hg is *nix-style tool in first place) failed because they don't use *real* unicode
names.

| The output reads: "Bilgisayar ve Iletisim" (no special characters)
| Thought I had copy-pasted, but I guess not...
|
| the output of chcp is: Active code page: 437
| Which is the DOS codepage
| This is WinXP pro with Mercurial version 04c76f296ad6
|
| For these tests, I just used the file named 'İletişim.txt' for simplicity.
|
| If I use the GnuWin32 mv command to move the file, I get:
|     mv: cannot stat `subdir\\Iletisim.txt': No such file or directory
|
| However, if I use the windows "move" command, it succeeds.
|
| If I set my code page to 857 (Turkish), then the file shows up with
| funny characters in the console, and all the commands work.
| It shows up as ÿletiƒim.txt

Click on console icon and choose Properties. Then go to Font tab and change your font to Lucida
Console. It's a unicode font and it will shows all your characters *right*.

|
| So it looks like I just need to munge my codepage to make it work. Odd
