Public bug reported:
git gui works fine when there is no non-ASCII character in recentrepo entries.
Git gui can open the path with non-ASCII characters without any problem.
However if the gui.recentrepo contain non-ASCII characters, it will throw out
an error.
The user.name can contain non-ASCII UTF8 characters .This works fine:
git config --list
user.name=NewUSer∞ π ∅
user.email=newu...@example.com
gui.recentrepo=/home/user/Documents/test.git
git gui can start without error.
However, if we put the non-ASCII characters into the gui.recentrepo:
git config --global --add gui.recentrepo /home/user/Documents/∞_π_∅
git config --list
user.name=NewUSer∞ π ∅
user.email=newu...@example.com
gui.recentrepo=/home/user/Documents/test.git
gui.recentrepo=/home/user/Documents/∞_π_∅
git gui will fail:
