#1056: handle encodings of change_files properly
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: dustin | Owner: dustin
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: 0.8.3
Version: 0.8.2 | Keywords: encoding
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
This can mean one of two things:
1. store them as unicode, requiring all changesources to handle any
necessary decoding (e.g., using {{{sys.getfilesystemencoding()}}} or a
config variable)
1. store them as bytestrings
The first option is consistent, but may trip up users who do not use a
single filesystem encoding, or who have filenames that are otherwise not
valid. Changesources could deal with this using {{{bytestring.decode(enc,
errors='replace')}}}
The second option is more general, but has a similar problem when trying
to display the non-ASCII characters. Worse, in fact, as any context for
that filename is gone!
So I think that we should implement the first option.
