Follow-up Comment #8, sr #105528 (project administration): > Yavor asked for progress on this one.
As far as I'm concerned I didn't progress. We would welcome more information about how CVS deals with commit messages: - does it add any encoding metadata? (e.g. the locale in use at commit time, if cvs is used from the command line) - is the encoding considered ASCII? - how well do the encoding "auto-guess" libraries can perform on such small messages? - how practical would it be to add a charset marker at the beginning of each commit message? As for the content of the message, this is probably more difficult - first the diff needs to be independant, for example an attachment. Then the encoding is almost certainly unknown to CVS, because any kind of text file can be versioned independently of its charset. Probably only an encoding "auto-guess" method would work. If anyone can research about this, we use log_accum and commit_prep from the contrib/ directory in project CVS. http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/viewvc/ccvs/contrib/?root=cvs _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?105528> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
