+>>> I added setting the environment variable `HGENCODING=utf-8` in `rcs_commit_helper`, which took care of these problems. --[[Daniel Andersson]]

 >> When this has happened, directly following by `rename` and `remove` doesn't work as it should, since the file is not commited. `hg remove -f` doesn't physically remove files that aren't tracked (no `hg` command does). Perhaps a regular `unlink $file` should be called to not clutter the source dir if `hg remove` failed because the file wasn't tracked. --[[Daniel Andersson]]
 
 >> I've also noted that when a post is added or removed, the commit message lacks the page title. It contains the title when the page is renamed though, so it should be an easy fix. I'll look into it. --[[Daniel Andersson]]
