1) When I did a commit, I formatted the commit message very nicely.
After the commit, it's just a big blob of text. That certainly defeats
the purpose of making a commit message of any detail.
What is the standard practice with this? Keeping a separate
"changelog.txt" where the details are listed? Now I've got another file
to keep accurate?
2) My source has a couple of characters like copyright and the
multiplication 'x' and I get this message from fossil:
./Guide.tcl contains invalid UTF-8. Use --no-warnings or the
"encoding-glob" setting to disable this warning.
Commit anyhow (a=all/c=convert/y/N)?
I set encoding-glob to *.tcl so now the message goes away.
I've read this:
http://fossil-users.fossil-scm.narkive.com/6Ci1qs0J/file-contains-invalid-utf-8-but-is-not-utf-8
As that post mentioned, my © symbol remains but fossil shows the file
with a black ? in place of the ©.
I use gvim and switching to a different editor is something that will
never happen.
I tried saying 'c' for convert and fossil made a new file with "real
utf-8" characters in the place of the originals.
The copyright symbol is something that I really want in the source file
-- it's in a comment but that is beside the point. It needs to show as a
real copyright symbol when the file is edited >and< viewed. As far as I
know, gvim does not have a way to convert the goofy "real utf-8"
sequence to a copyright symbol so I cannot see the © when I edit the
file >nor can I insert a real utf-8 copyright symbol<. Also neither
notepad nor another file viewer shows the "real utf-8" copyright symbol
correctly in a "converted" file.
Is there any solution to this?
