[PATCH v12 10/10] convert: add round trip check based on 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx>

UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between
UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be
a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings
(e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1].

Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated
list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the
conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute.

Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.

+- Reencoding content to non-UTF encodings can cause errors as the
+  conversion might not be UTF-8 round trip safe. If you suspect your
+  encoding to not be round trip safe, then add it to
+  `core.checkRoundtripEncoding` to make Git check the round trip
+  encoding (see linkgit:git-config[1]). SHIFT-JIS (Japanese character

 - Reencoding content requires resources that might slow down certain
   Git operations (e.g 'git checkout' or 'git add').
