We've seen a few similar complaints about unicode in file names
with kgb-client run on Alioth. It was never quite clear if the
problem is in KGB (on the client or server side) or somewhere in git
/ on Alioth. Unicode in committers' names usually worked.
Now for the webhook and salsa integration, it looks good for names
and filenames:
05:01 -KGB-1:#debconf-team- Name1 Name2 (名义) (via Name1 Name2) master $hash dc18
[DebConf18]應邀來臺參加會議或活動向外交部領事事務局申請電子簽證之外籍人士名單.xls
…
(Names replaced and message shortened for privacy reasons.)
Now we would need a ☃.git repo on salsa too :)
Cheers,
