Dear all,
I'm writing a tool (ECMerge) which use the git command line to list folders
content (as of specific commits, tags and so on). This way our users can
browse a GIT repository in our GUI.
We are in front of the following problem: when a GIT repository contains a
folder with accents, the files names for its content are often prepended
with random characters. Here is a transcript of a list of operation
exhibiting the problem:
C:\temp\scc-tests\git>git ls-tree HEAD .
100644 blob 443d8625f771c421efd86c129483f9a139a4e85f "p\351p\351.txt"
C:\temp\scc-tests\git>mkdir "caractère spécial"
C:\temp\scc-tests\git>echo plouf > "caractère spécial\plouf.txt"
C:\temp\scc-tests\git>git add "caractère spécial"
C:\temp\scc-tests\git>git commit -m plouf
[master b94d9cb] plouf
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 "caract\350re sp\351cial/plouf.txt"
C:\temp\scc-tests\git>git ls-tree HEAD .
040000 tree d2b614bbfb4c5f39a32eb1309654262df113f605 "caract\350re
sp\351cial"
100644 blob 443d8625f771c421efd86c129483f9a139a4e85f "p\351p\351.txt"
C:\temp\scc-tests\git>git ls-tree -r HEAD .
100644 blob bf10a8b39e72c754ee1872fcdb13662cba6a8880 "caract\350re
sp\351cial/\272plouf.txt"
100644 blob 443d8625f771c421efd86c129483f9a139a4e85f "p\351p\351.txt"
C:\temp\scc-tests\git>git ls-tree -r HEAD "caractère spécial"
100644 blob bf10a8b39e72c754ee1872fcdb13662cba6a8880 "caract\350re
sp\351cial/\272plouf.txt"
Note the spurious \272 which comes in the listing :(
Trying again the same commands may give other spurious characters (each time
we tried we get different _bad_ responses)
Hope you can do somehing for that,
Best regards
