// Please reply above this line ================================================== From: peff (GitHub Staff) Subject: zipball utf8 encoding error This is an issue in upstream git. It does not know anything about the encoding of pathnames in stored trees, so it reproduces them literally when generating a zipfile. Further complicating this is that there is a standard for specifying the encoding of the zipfile pathnames, but not all zip implementations seem to respect the standard. There are some discussions of possible fixes on the git list, but no patches yet: The git list thread is here, if you are interested: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/203272 The discussion there has stalled, so I'll see if I can prod it forward. Once there is a patch, we can look at applying it to our servers at GitHub. ================================================== Reply with #ignore to stop receiving notifications for this discussion.
