>> +Andreas Bie�mann<andreas.de...@gmail.com> This is a patch to a latin1 coded file. When you e.g. save this mail and look through it with 'cat <file> | less' you may see 'Andreas Bie<DF>mann <andreas.de...@gmail.com>'. When you then look for latin1 coding table you may see <DF> is 'ß'. So this is correct here. Some other files in the patch are still coded in utf-8 (as the mail is), therefore your MUA represents the stuff correct to you. The file MAINTAINERS is in latin1 coding cause a lot of/some other contributors also have non-ASCII characters in their names. A short test will show this to you: open MAINTAINERS in vim; :set fileencoding=utf8; save; git diff > in the 2nd line the "ß" does not show here (a "FFFD" box is shown > instead.

Yes, the file MAINTAINERS is in latin1 while the mail and some other files touched are in utf-8. > Maybe we should refrain from using non > ASCII characters within source code? I don't know. But my surname is Bießmann and _not_ Biessmann. Shouldn't we change the coding for all files to utf-8 instead? regards Andreas Bießmann _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
