This old function "encodeWithUTF8()" no longer has reference by any code in this file. > > Signed-off-by: Feiynag Xue <fxue@xxxxxxxx> - Please line-wrap your log message to reasonable length, like around 70 columns. - We refer to an existing commit like this: d38208a2 (git-p4: convert path to unicode before processing them, 2019-12-13) You can ask "git show -s --pretty=reference d38208a2" to produce such a string with versions of Git that are recent enough (like v2.25 or newer), or --pretty='format:%h (%s, %ad)' can be used instead of --pretty=reference for older version of Git. - Please Cc: those who are likely to know the area to ask for their reviews. This patch addresses a fallout from an existing commit, and its author would be a good candidate. - "deprecated" is probably not the word you wanted to use here, as it has a connotation that something was suboptimal with it, and it got replaced by something else. Reading your description, I think you are removing a function that is no longer used. I'd suggest rewriting it to something like: Subject: git-p4: remove "encodeWithUTF8()" that is no longer used d38208a2 (git-p4: convert path to unicode before processing them, 2019-12-13) introduced the function "decode_path()" to replace the "encodeWithUTF8()" method of P4Sync class, which no longer is used anywhere. Remove it.
