If that's OK for your site, you can probably enable it with: push @diff_opts, '--allow-textconv'; I don't know that anybody has tested that, though. It will use textconv _everywhere_ in gitweb, including the "format-patch" invocation for showing raw patches of commits. It might make sense in the long run for gitweb to have another variable like @diff_opts that is used for human-readable output (e.g., the HTML output, but not anything you might import to a tool). -Peff -- 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
