+>> It works since `if (! defined $hg_dir)` always hits, and `chdir $config{srcdir}` is well defined. The whole logic is just used in `git.pm` for merge functionality that is not present in `mercurial.pm`, so by the cruft argument, this should be replaced with just chdir `$config{srcdir}` (which is equivalent to `hg -R` or `hg --cwd` from what I know). Will be removed. --[[Daniel Andersson]]

+>> I don't know. ["hg stores everything internally as UTF-8, except for pathnames"](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-3198), but output is dependent on the system's locale. The environment variable `HGENCODING=utf-8` can be set to ensure that Mercurial's own output is always UTF-8, but when viewing a diff containing non-UTF-8 changes, the affected lines are nevertheless output in their original encoding. I personally think that this is the correct way to output it, though, unless there is a possibility that someone is running ikiwiki wih a non-UTF-8 locale.

+>> 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]]
