------- Comment #1 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-16 21:04 MST -------
The changelog statement you cited is correct for locales that don't use
multibyte encodings (of which UTF-8 is not one). For instance, rsync outputs
all the extended characters from ISO-8859-1 without any mangling.
I've been considering how best to add multibyte support to rsync, and I think
that I can leverage the way iconv() works to have it tell me if characters are
valid in the current locale. A patch that does this (along with adding
filename conversion support) is here:
http://opencoder.net/iconv.diff
This is still a young patch, so be careful if you decide to give it a try.
The patch applies to the latest CVS source. See the diff for build and usage
instructions.
