Subject: git-filter-branch : LANG / LC_ALL = C breaks UTF-8 author names
Message-ID: <4C6E8109.5030202@leadformance.com>

  Hello all,

I am filtering our repo with git-filter-branch, but as the sed script 
runs with LANG=C LC_ALL=C (7 bit US ASCII), it dies on commits authored 
by our team members with accented names. Why are the locales "C"?  For 
compatibility with older sed?  I've changed to LANG=en_US.UTF-8, will my 
change will cause other git-breakage?


git-filter-branch

95: LANG=C LC_ALL=C sed -ne "$pick_id_script"

95: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sed -ne "$pick_id_script"


Regards,
Richard
