Git shouldn't be changing that + to a %20. I haven't followed why we need to escape + to %20 at all, even in the query string. E.g. curl(1) doesn't do that before sending requests to Apache, which can handle either one. The + v.s. %20 duality is always handled at the server AFAIK. -- 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
