Changes around this code in history is a bit unclear. User format learns to get log encoding from a field in 177b29d (pretty.c: teach format_commit_message() to reencode the output - 2010-11-02), but this field is only set for --fixup and --squash (in a few commits later). This makes "git log --pretty=format:%b" always ignore the output encoding config key. I don't think %b output should be different from normal log output, which does respect output encoding. Pat, any reasons not to do it? -- Duy -- 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
