Hi Mauro, all I've got a couple of patches from authors with non-ASCII characters in their names. I'm sending this email on purpose from a utf-8 client to better demonstrait this. Here is a header of one of such _git_ patches: <quote> >From 7984cae1e117149392548ff102c7a22fce7ae92c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:10:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] V4L/DVB mx1_camera: don't check platform_get_irq's return value against zero MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit platform_get_irq returns -ENXIO on failure, so !irq was probably always true. Better use (int)irq <= 0. Note that a return value of zero is still handled as error even though this could mean irq0. This is a followup to 305b3228f9ff4d59f49e6d34a7034d44ee8ce2f0 that changed the return value of platform_get_irq from 0 to -ENXIO on error. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> </quote> As you see, the name in the header is converted to a string like From: =?utf-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= <u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> but UTF-8 is preserved in Sob. Is this also how I shall commit such patches to hg or shall I do this somehow differently. Or shall I just wait with these patches until v4l switches to git...
