Hi,
I'm trying to import a (really old…) Mercurial repository in 'observe' mode into a recent Phorge (cloned a week ago). The repository is large (~175k commits), and 60 of those commits fail to import. Not a bad ratio, but I still would like to get the repository into a 'fully imported' state. I know I can manually set it to 'imported', but I'm not sure what the consequences of that are, whether I should expect missing files etc. So, it would be optimal to get those remaining 60 commits to import.
Under /daemon/, I can see PhabricatorRepositoryMercurialCommitChangeParserWorker jobs with high failure counts. This is what the repository tool tells me:
root@ec6149cd0a0b:/var/www/phorge/phorge# ./bin/repository importing R3 R3:f60bb794a270 Change, Publish R3:5eeae9954ae8 Change, Publish R3:773043ec1398 Change, Publish […]
They are all standing on Change, Publish. Let's see what phd log says:

To my untrained eye this looks like it's trying to create a file path in the database and chokes on the encoding of the path. In fact, when I look at the problematic commits in my repository, I see that they contain files with German "Umlaute" ("ü", "ö", "ä", …) in their file names. I did not verify this for all 60 failed commits, but picked a couple of them at random. The commits are mostly from 1999 (did I mention the repo is old?). I assume that these file names are encoded in CP-1252, because this was Windows in the year 1999.
I'm not sure how to reproduce this with a test repository, because I'm honestly not sure how to create a non-utf-8 filename and force it into Mercurial in the year 2023. However, I see nothing else special about these changesets.
I will gladly open a bug report for this, but I don't think I have the necessary permissions.
