Hi Calvin, Sure, let me demonstrate with clean git repo: mkdir git_test; cd git_test git init touch Київ.txt Kyiv.txt Маріуполь.txt Mariupol.txt git add -A git commit -m 'foobar' Now let's check with GNU awk `git log --stat` strings width in bytes: $ git log --stat | LC_ALL=C awk '/txt/{print length($0), $0}' 27 Kyiv.txt | 0 27 Mariupol.txt | 0 27 Київ.txt | 0 27 Маріуполь.txt | 0 And strings width in unicode characters: $ git log --stat | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 awk '/txt/{print length($0), $0}' 27 Kyiv.txt | 0 27 Mariupol.txt | 0 23 Київ.txt | 0 18 Маріуполь.txt | 0 See, all lines are aligned to have length 27 bytes. But on the screen this looks distorted because length in characters differs. On Tue, 9 Aug 2022 at 22:20, Calvin Wan <calvinwan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi Alexander, > > Thank you for the report!
