I just learnt that "git add --interactive" does not work with UTF-8 encoded filenames. Maybe it's about all 8-bit characters. The menu invoked with command git add -i <file> does not even show this <file> if the name contains UTF-8 characters. Command and menu git add -i shows the file but nothing can be done with it. Neither "patch" nor "update" does work, for example. As a side note/rant: Git tends to show non-Ascii characters in filenames as \xxx escape sequences. It's not a big problem but surely it's not very nice to read if (say) half of the word's letters are escaped like this. I believe Git is mostly used for tracking source codes where Ascii-only filenames are a common practice. I'm using Git to develop Finnish spell-checking system (called Voikko) and we have some non-Ascii filenames in the repo. -- 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
