GIT browsing: files shown in wrong encoding

Added by Jürgen Hörmann over 14 years ago

Hello,

I'm using GIT and I'm having a problem with the encoding of the files.

My files in the repository are encoded in iso-8859-15 (german).
My server is running in UTF-8, therefore Redmine (Apache/fcgi) puts out pages with charset=utf-8

I see Redmine does not convert the iso-8859-15 files to utf-8 before sending to the browser, what results in garbeld characters (German umlauts).

Is there a way to fix that?
I did consult the GIT manual but did not find any information If I can tell GIT to convert from iso-8859-15 to utf-8 on commit. So I need Redmine to handle the encoding of textfiles.

Here my sysinfo

Try #2664 patches.

Thank you very much for the information. My problems are solved now.

I choose to not install the patches for now, because I do not use special chars in file- and pathnames. But I will bookmark this information, I'll need it some future day.
