Encoding is largeley neglected. Actually conversions are made because o= ne has to, but there is no consistency there. Git mostly neglect encodings= and so does anything that attempt to be compatible with it. I have some pat= ches towards improvement. A problem is that conversion to or from UTF-8 and = back are not reversible, especially when the input is invalid for the conver= sion. This *will* happen when dealing with git repos that contain non-ascii commen= ts or file names. > BTW, something I really miss from egit is "Team > Compare With > HEAD= =20 > revision" or something like that. Coming.. but no plan on when as for most ideas that I have. Lack of tim= e means most things come in small pieces that can be completed in an hour or tw= o. OTOH some things become clear and simple over time when not rushing them. Th= is is probably one of the simple features. Actually it's a good way to get st= arted with hacking the plugin ;] > Keep up the good work! Thanks -- robin
