What does
git config -l | grep Noralf | xxd
say ?
$ git config -l | grep Noralf | xxd

$ file ~/.gitconfig
/home/pi/.gitconfig: ISO-8859 text
What's happened here is that:
1. You've authored your commit in ISO-8859-1
2. Git itself has no place for the encoding of the author name in the
commit object format
3. git-format-patch has a --compose-encoding which I think would sort
this out if you set it to ISO-8859-1, but it defaults to UTF-8
4. Your patch is actually a ISO-8859-1 byte sequence, but is
advertised as UTF-8
5. You end up with a screwed-up commit
You could work around this, but I suggest just joining the 21st
century and working exclusively in UTF-8, it makes things much easier,
speaking as someone with 3x more non-ASCII characters their his name
than you :)
Ok, then the question is: How do I switch to UTF-8?
To me it seems I'm already using it:
$ locale charmap
UTF-8
Your .gitconfig has an ISO-8859-1 string, from an earlier mail of yours:
$ git config -l | grep Noralf | xxd
0000000: 7573 6572 2e6e 616d 653d 4e6f 7261 6c66 user.name=Noralf
0000010: 2054 72f8 6e6e 6573 0a Tr.nnes.
On a system configured for UTF-8 this would be:
$ echo Noralf Trønnes | xxd
0000000: 4e6f 7261 6c66 2054 72c3 b86e 6e65 730a Noralf Tr..nnes.
Note the "f8" v.s. "c3 b8".
Yes:
$ echo Noralf Trønnes | xxd
0000000: 4e6f 7261 6c66 2054 72f8 6e6e 6573 0a Noralf Tr.nnes.
Is there a command I can run that shows that I'm using ISO-8859-1 ?
I need something to google with, my previous search only gave locale
stuff, which seems fine.
