commands: label from user is in local encoding
repo.branchtags().keys() are in UTF-8, so the label should be converted to UTF-8
before checking for a naming conflict. Keep the original label for ui.status()

HG Path to the 'hg' executable, automatically passed when running hooks, extensions or external tools. If unset or empty, this is the hg executable's name if it's frozen, or an executable named 'hg' (with %PATHEXT% [defaulting to COM/EXE/BAT/CMD] extensions on Windows) is searched. HGEDITOR This is the name of the editor to run when committing. See EDITOR. (deprecated, use .hgrc) HGENCODING This overrides the default locale setting detected by Mercurial. This setting is used to convert data including usernames, changeset descriptions, tag names, and branches. This setting can be overridden with the --encoding command-line option. HGENCODINGMODE This sets Mercurial's behavior for handling unknown characters while transcoding user input. The default is "strict", which causes Mercurial to abort if it can't map a character. Other settings include "replace", which replaces unknown characters, and "ignore", which drops them. This setting can be overridden with the --encodingmode command-line option. HGMERGE An executable to use for resolving merge conflicts. The program will be executed with three arguments: local file, remote file, ancestor file. (deprecated, use .hgrc) HGRCPATH A list of files or directories to search for hgrc files. Item separator is ":" on Unix, ";" on Windows. If HGRCPATH is not set, platform default search path is used. If empty, only the .hg/hgrc from the current repository is read. For each element in HGRCPATH: - if it's a directory, all files ending with .rc are added - otherwise, the file itself will be added HGUSER This is the string used as the author of a commit. If not set, available values will be considered in this order: - HGUSER (deprecated) - hgrc files from the HGRCPATH - EMAIL - interactive prompt - LOGNAME (with ``@hostname`` appended) (deprecated, use .hgrc) EMAIL May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER. LOGNAME May be used as the author of a commit; see HGUSER. VISUAL This is the name of the editor to use when committing. See EDITOR. EDITOR Sometimes Mercurial needs to open a text file in an editor for a user to modify, for example when writing commit messages. The editor it uses is determined by looking at the environment variables HGEDITOR, VISUAL and EDITOR, in that order. The first non-empty one is chosen. If all of them are empty, the editor defaults to 'vi'. PYTHONPATH This is used by Python to find imported modules and may need to be set appropriately if this Mercurial is not installed system-wide.
