I would like to propose, that Git codifies-as-required the majority case today, that trees should *only* be encoded in UTF-8 going forward. > Why does git itself have to do anything about it, and how would it help > users without hurting other git users who are not involved in such a > project? My concern is that users will not know what's happening or how to fix it, they'll just see messed up paths and assume Git is broken. Even a warning message would give users something explicit to put into Google to find a solution for. Not many people will possess the Git-Fu required to manage filter-branch. -- Paul Betts <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- 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
