<p>allow the use of MBCS paths with problematic encodings</p>
<div class="section" id="description">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">Description</a></h1>
<p>Some MBCS encodings are not good for some path operations (i.e.
splitting path, case conversion, etc.) with its encoded bytes. We call
such a encoding (i.e. shift_jis and big5) as "problematic encoding".
This extension can be used to fix the issue with those encodings by
wrapping some functions to convert to Unicode string before path
operation.</p>
<p>This extension is useful for:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Japanese Windows users using shift_jis encoding.</li>
<li>Chinese Windows users using big5 encoding.</li>
<li>All users who use a repository with one of problematic encodings on
case-insensitive file system.</li>
</ul>
<p>This extension is not needed for:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Any user who use only ASCII chars in path.</li>
<li>Any user who do not use any of problematic encodings.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that there are some limitations on using this extension:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>You should use single encoding in one repository.</li>
<li>If the repository path ends with 0x5c, .hg/hgrc cannot be read.</li>
<li>win32mbcs is not compatible with fixutf8 extension.</li>
</ul>
<p>By default, win32mbcs uses encoding.encoding decided by Mercurial.
You can specify the encoding by config option:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
[win32mbcs]
encoding = sjis
</pre>
<p>It is useful for the users who want to commit with UTF-8 log message.</p>
