Git expects that the file system returns file names with the same byte sequence that git used to create a file. On Windows, this works only as long as you do not switch the codepage. > BTW, we are invoking the Git executable from Java. Is there automatically a > console "around" Git? I don't think so. In this case, the codepage that Java has set up will apply. I guess that Java doesn't mess with the codepage at all, and then on German Windows git would operate in cp1252. > Should we invoke a shell-script (which sets the > console's code page) instead of the Git executable directly? I don't think that is necessary. -- Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
