Hello!

When I type comment message in Git Gui (1.8.0 and previous), I can't
use Ŭŭ letter (U+016C, U+016D) — it just transforms into simple Uu.
Please fix it.

Can you tell us more about your environment (LANG setting, OS)? I just
made two commits (1 with git-gui, one with git-commit on command line),
and both come out fine (LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, git version 1.8.0.226.gba44ac5
on Fedora 16):

Ok. I use Win7 sp1, syslang — be_BY, git version 1.8.0.msysgit.0 („git
version“ command).
Problem appears when I type this letter on keyboard; when I copy-paste
it everyrhing is ok.

That is interesting. It means git-gui can make the commit properly, but
somehow the input method fails in the commit message form of the gui
window. Do those letters show correctly in the form (but fail to commit
correctly), or do they appear incorrectly already at the time you try to
type them?

That info could help windows folks find the cause.

No, commit is the same as input. Only when I press key combination for
Ŭŭ (AltGr+Uu [like AltGr+Cc for Ćć, this works]) — simple Uu appears
in text form. Every other special letter (Šš, Čč, Žž, Śś, Łł, Źź, Ćć)
works.

So it's really the input. Is AltGr+u maybe a menu shortcut in git gui
which overrides the special character? I think Ctril+u and such are
command shortcuts, and AltGr+u and such activate menus.
