Hi all,

If you are seeing this error:

  remote: Traceback (most recent call last):
  remote:   File "/usr/bin/hg", line 10, in ?
  remote:     from mercurial import commands
  remote:   File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/mercurial/commands.py", line 2559, in ?

  remote:     setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "")
  remote:   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 381, in setlocale
  remote:     return _setlocale(category, locale)
  remote: locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
  abort: no suitable response from remote hg!

Then prefixing your hg commands with "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 " is a handy
workaround.

Cheers,
