[PATCH] Support having non-utf-8 characters returned by p4

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

 



From: David Racine <bass_dr@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When perforce server is not configured for Unicode, and commands like
`p4 users` returns a string with non-ascii characters (eg. one of the
user's FullName has a french `é` in it), git-p4 was giving
`Exception: failure accessing depot: could not connect`.
With this patch, if such character is encountered, it will honor the new
`git-p4.textEncoding` config option, or silently replace the erronous
character and continue.
