Thanks for the confirmation.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease :)

Honestly, I think most folks have just moved onto UTF-8 entirely and
left legacy encodings behind.  Especially people using modern tools like
git (along with SVN enforcing UTF-8 at the repository/protocol level).


Junio:

I've pushed the following out to git://git.bogomips.org/git-svn.git:

Eric Wong (2):
      git-svn: don't escape tilde ('~') for http(s) URLs
      git-svn: respect i18n.commitencoding config

I'll try to get around to the more robust escaping checks
and splitting out the monolithic git-svn.perl source next
week.
