But it have not integration with user environment. Personally I use koi8-r environment and doing "cg commit" (and probably "git commit" too) results in koi8-r text written as commit text. I remember that this issue were discussed on this list and all come to conclusion that utf-8 is the only sane encoding that can be used in this case. But this should not be user's problem - it's just the UI that doesn't understands when transcoding should be done. Similarly - when I start gitk then I see only weird symbols instead of commit text, not matter what encoding I use for commits - koi8-r or utf-8. BTW russian koi8-r encoded text _in_diff_contents_ show correctly. Wonder why... -- Respectfully Alexey Nezhdanov
