Ok, I made a quick change in git-svn script and seems like is working now in my system with locale set to iso-8859-1. Dunno if this is the right place to post this, but I hope someone knowledgeable see this and tells if this would work as a general fix. This patch is against 1.6.0.2 --- git-svn 2008-09-15 13:04:46.000000000 +0200 +++ git-svn.mine 2008-10-30 04:21:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ use Getopt::Long qw/:config gnu_getopt no_ignore_case auto_abbrev/; use IPC::Open3; use Git; +use Encode; BEGIN { # import functions from Git into our packages, en masse @@ -1061,6 +1062,7 @@ && !$saw_from) { $msgbuf .= "\n\nFrom: $author"; } + $msgbuf = encode("utf8", $msgbuf); print $log_fh $msgbuf or croak $!; command_close_pipe($msg_fh, $ctx); } On Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 4:14 AM, James North <tocapicha@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using git-svn on a system with ISO-8859-1 encoding.
