There are two issues that came up at gnome-i18n and are unclear regarding git. It would be good to get a position on this and I'll document for the GTP.
1. Do translation commits require to have a --signoff? At the moment there is no git config option to automatically signoff a commit, and this would make it slightly cumbersome for translators to add manually. 2. What is the issue regarding UTF-8 in commit messages? This is mostly an issue with names of people. At first the reaction would be to simply use ASCII characters. However, with git and git-send-e-mail, there will eventually be non-ASCII person names in commit messages. For this, it might be good to have an overall policy for UTF-8, and add to the documentation something like git config --global format.headers "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"utf-8\"" Then, the policy could be either to refrain from using UTF-8 if it can be avoided or use UTF-8 at will.
