When you e.g. save this mail and look through it with 'cat | less' you may see 'Andreas Biemann '. When you then look for latin1 coding table you may see is '?'. 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 "?" 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 Bie?mann and _not_ Biessmann. Shouldn't we change the coding for all files to utf-8 instead? regards Andreas Bie?mann
