Ok, so digging a little deeper, `base64 -d | od -t x1` gives the following (partial) output: 0000200 6f 74 65 3a 0d 0a 3e 3e 20 2b 20 c2 a0 20 c2 a0 The key entry here is the a0 character (NO-BREAK SPACE) or NBSP. This is at: $ base64 -d test | od -t x1 | grep a0 | head -n 1 | xxd -r ote: >> + So looks like it is in the patch you are quoting. NOTE: I have removed the spaces after the +. Also, according to www.unicode.org, c2 is A^ (A with a circumflex) -- not sure what that is doing there, though. - Reece -- 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
