I believe you need to use the misnamed '-u' option to git-applymbox, which _really_ ought to be the default behaviour. Otherwise, it fails to pay any attention to the character set tags in the mail it's decoding -- it commits the sin which rmk was whining about; assuming the input data is of a given type and ignoring the explicit tags which indicate the contrary. The '-u' option is misdocumented as 'causes the resulting commit to be encoded in utf-8', but in fact I believe it doesn't necessarily do that -- it actually causes the resulting commit to be encoded in the configured storage charset for the repository, which just _happens_ to default to UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. That is something which should definitely be the _default_ behaviour. We should make the '-u' behaviour the default, and if anyone really wants the old behaviour of importing arbitrary data in untagged binary form overriding its labelling then they can have a separate option which does that. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
