Hi. I propose that the filename encoding in C locale uses UTF-8 instead of SO/UTF-8.
There are three reasons: 1. for the interoperability between Cygwin and various UNIX-like systems (Linux, *BSD, Solaris, and so on). UNIX-like systems treat the filename as 8bit byte array, and many applications on the systems send or receive filename information without locale. (mercurial, git, rsync, and so on). 2. UTF-8 is the only encoding that can treat multi languages. 3. Today, the default encoding of modern UNIX-like systems is UTF-8. Please examine it.
