encoding: use s.decode to trigger UnicodeDecodeError
When calling encode on a str, the string is first decoded using the
default encoding and then encoded. So
s.encode('ascii') == s.decode().encode('ascii')
We don't care about the encode step here -- we're just after the
UnicodeDecodeError raised by decode if it finds a non-ASCII character.
This way is also marginally faster since it saves the construction of
the extra str object.
$ hg init
$ echo a > a
$ hg ci -qAm 'add a'
$ hg init subrepo
$ echo 'subrepo = http://example.net/libfoo' > .hgsub
$ hg ci -qAm 'added subrepo'
$ hg up -qC 0
$ echo ax > a
$ hg ci -m 'changed a'
created new head
$ hg up -qC 1
$ cd subrepo
$ echo b > b
$ hg add b
$ cd ..
Should fail, since there are added files to subrepo:
$ hg merge
abort: outstanding uncommitted changes in subrepository 'subrepo'
