convert: transcode CVS log messages by specified encoding (issue5597)
Converting from CVS to Mercurial assumes that CVS log messages in "cvs
rlog" output are encoded in UTF-8 (or basic Latin-1). But cvs itself
is usually unaware of encoding of log messages, in practice.
Therefore, if there are commits, of which log message is encoded in
other than UTF-8, log message of corresponded revisions in the
converted repository will be broken.
To avoid such broken log messages, this patch transcodes CVS log
messages by encoding specified via "convert.cvsps.logencoding"
configuration.
This patch accepts multiple encoding for convenience, because
"multiple encoding mixed in a repository" easily occurs. For example,
UTF-8 (recent POSIX), cp932 (Windows), and EUC-JP (legacy POSIX) are
well known encoding for Japanese.

$ hg add foo
mq may keep a reference to the repository so __del__ will not be
called and .hg/journal.dirstate will not be deleted:
$ hg ci -m foo
error: pretxncommit.nocommits hook failed: no commits allowed
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: no commits allowed
