Git works fine with UTF-8. The most recent version of Rocket Git defaults to UTF-8 for the git-encoding. This may impact some migrations in which case you may have to rewrite the history. Processing files tagged with UTF-8 will have unpredictable results using Rocket ported tools such as Bash, sed, Perl etc. I’m not sure about IBM’s Python port. > > Git encodings are quite confusing.

So does Gradle, although I’ve tweaked it to use “-xsharedclasses” and nobbled the daemon. > > -- > > Andrew Rowley > Black Hill Software > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
