I just got the following email:
The Git documentation at
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html> is
encoded in ISO 8859-1, but it is being served with a content-type header
of "text/plain; charset=UTF-8".
The content-type header overrides the value declared in the <meta> tag
of the HTML document, so this causes browsers to render the
documentation incorrectly.
Apologies if this is a well known issue and you get a lot of mail like
this BTW, just don't LART me too hard. ;)
The fact that browsers behave this way is of course a bug, but it's a
common one. Can we switch the documentation over to UTF-8, this is 2007
after all...?
