Sure, I think there should be a "unicode-glob" as well, it's just
not implemented yet.
The short story is this. Fossil 1.24 cannot distinguish between
binary and unicode: all of those were binary.
The crnl warning is meant to tell people: be carefull, what you
are doing works fine on Windows, but not on UNIX. The
unicode warning works the same: this file will probably
work fine on Windows, but in UNIX project, most likely not.
I would be fine with a combined "crnl-glob" and
"unicode-glob" (windows-glob, maybe?), saying: what
you are doing is windows-specific. But I'm not sure
that any alternative name would be intuitively clear,
so "crnl-glob" and "unicode-glob" would probably
most clear. Different projects have different requirements,
I think that "crnl-glob", "binary-glob" and "unicode-glob"
would suffice.
My end-goal is to make "fossil diff" work for unicode
as well as other text. I have some experimental work
on that, but it's not finished yet. It just depends on
the time needed to impement such things, and the
time Joe/Richard need to evaluate it. Things
shouldn't be changed lightly: Fossil is very stable,
and I'm only in here for a short time.

Partly, "-f" already functions like that, although -f does more: It
permits no-op commits as well.

Maybe trying to implement a "unicode-glob" would be a
good not-to-difficult first step. I would welcome that.
Thanks!
