Scott,
ticgit currently fails to preserve titles with characters outside
[0-9a-z ]. A Debian user would like to create tickets with Cyrillic
titles, and I myself wish for the possibility to use other ASCII
printables such as punctuation. The current implementation does not
allow storing such things safely; a “/”, if not processed by
clean_string, would obviously fail, and Windows cannot even stand
[?*:|"+] etc.
The easiest fix to this problem would be the introduction of an extra
file, such as “TICKET_TITLE”, in every ticket’s directory. The program
could continue to read and write the processed title in the DATE_TITLE/
format for compatibility reasons, but also store the “true” title to be
used by newer versions. As far as I can tell, this would be very easy
to implement; I can come up with a patch if you wish.
Of course, multibyte titles would introduce new problems, like a messed
up “ti list” output where columns don’t line up any more. But this
seems to be a smaller problem than not supporting this stuff at all.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on that.
PS: Please keep the Cc list when replying.
Cheers,
