Slightly related; A new cygwin (not msysgit-related) version with UTF-8 support was announced. Most notably: - New setlocale implementation allows to specify POSIX locale strings. You can now use, for instance in bash, `export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8'. The language and territory will be ignored for now, the charset will be used by multibyte-releated functions. - UTF-8 filenames are supported now. - Support UTF-8 in console window. This certainly makes it more feasable to interoperate with *nix repos that has non-ascii metadata and file names. -- robin -- 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
