UnicodeDecodeError exception in clone command #331
Description
I try to use hg-git for cloning a large git repo.
After running 28 hours it gives me a UnicodeDecodeError.
I would rather like that the cloning command could finish successfully.
In my opinion the cloning should not be impossible just because some file in the repo contains a non-ascii character.
There is not even a hint which file has the non-ascii char.
I have hg-git 0.8.11 and Mercurial 4.5.2, gentoo Linux.
Please have a look at this and tell me how to proceed.
Thanks in advance!
