You must have made a mistake somewhere. Indeed. I was running above command form a git.git clone. Now, looking at anything that is in 146ed90 produces paths like po/de.po po/ja.po Yet, .gitattributes says this: /po/*.po encoding=UTF-8 which does not match any of the *.po files because the *.po are one level deeper inside git-gui/po/. The change below made a difference. Everything's fine now! diff --git a/git-gui/.gitattributes b/git-gui/.gitattributes index f96112d..8ad5766 100644 --- a/git-gui/.gitattributes +++ b/git-gui/.gitattributes @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ * encoding=US-ASCII git-gui.sh encoding=UTF-8 -/po/*.po encoding=UTF-8 +*.po encoding=UTF-8 > Also, it should work in the patch mode as well: it reads the patch as > binary, and decodes each line separately, based on the encoding > determined for the current file. This is great. But we'll have to see how this works on a multi-file diff on Windows. (I sense slowness.)
