That will break any time somebody uses -s with a --encoding= that is different from their usual encoding. My patch assumes the source is utf-8, but should perhaps assume some other default encoding from the config. But if this is not a problem for people, I'm not going to push it. I don't actually use any of these features; it was just something I noticed while looking at the actual bug. -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
