@lenamonj, Nice catch! :100: I completely overlooked that both Git and SWHID (https://www.swhid.org/) treat file names as plain byte sequences. That raises a question, though: did we miss a `Charset` parameter in the API? Encoding file names in a Git repo with anything other than `UTF-8` is technically possible, but it's a recipe for collaboration headaches. I'm okay with just assuming UTF-8 for file names, but we should spell that out somewhere: > Git and SWHID treat file names as opaque byte sequences with no defined encoding. The identifiers produced here coincide with Git's or SWHID's own identifiers only if the original file names were UTF-8 encoded. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
