And git guys, please start to think again about your insane options,
that cause more harm than anything good.
Can git maintainer(s) comment on this please?
It's easy to say "just do the right thing", and ignore reality.
git commit logs have always been "8-bit data". It's actually gitweb that
is buggy if it claims it is UTF-8 without checking or converting it to
such.
I agree that UTF-8 is a good idea, but that's a totally different
argument.
Maybe you could officially require all commit messages to be UTF-8 then the
problem would be just solved for future commits at least. Until then it
should be workarounded in gitweb I guess.
