# [PATCH (GIT-GUI)] git-gui: Request blame metadata in utf-8. 2 messages from 2008-11-09 to 2008-11-11. Participants: Alexander Gavrilov, Shawn O. Pearce. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/16241 ## Alexander Gavrilov, 2008-11-09 15:53 Subject: [PATCH (GIT-GUI)] git-gui: Request blame metadata in utf-8. Message-ID: <200811091853.09498.angavrilov@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/200811091853.09498.angavrilov%40gmail.com ``` The blame builtin now supports automatic conversion of metadata encoding. By default it is converted to the character set specified by i18n.logoutputencoding. Since gui blame expects the data in utf-8, it is necessary to specify the desired encoding directly. An old version of the blame command will simply ignore the option.
