As an example broken commit: Author: Michał Walenciak 2017-04-07 21:38:23 Committer: Michał Walenciak 2017-04-07 21:38:33 good commit: Author: Michał Walenciak 2017-04-08 21:21:15 Committer: Michał Walenciak 2017-04-08 21:21:15 Broken commits are quite rare and I cannot find any rule when they happen. Git 2.12.2 here, Arch linux. regards -- Michał Walenciak gmail.com kicer86 http://kicer.sileman.net.pl gg: 3729519 ``` ## Igor Djordjevic, 2017-04-08 22:07 Subject: Re: broken text encoding in commit author name Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/e1836f50-1318-b72f-5507-b395be02e88d%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: <12228342.8FuY78Fyzc@kicer> ``` Hi Michał, On 08/04/2017 22:30, Michał Walenciak wrote: > Hi > > since git 2.12 I'm having random problems with broken text enciding in author > name. > > As an example broken commit: > Author: Michał Walenciak 2017-04-07 21:38:23 > Committer: Michał Walenciak 2017-04-07 21:38:33 > > good commit: > Author: Michał Walenciak 2017-04-08 21:21:15 > Committer: Michał Walenciak 2017-04-08 21:21:15 > > Broken commits are quite rare and I cannot find any rule when they happen. > Git 2.12.2 here, Arch linux. For what it`s worth, looking at the timestamp of the broken commit example you`ve shown, could the problem be related to amending commits? If so, are you amending through the command line, or maybe using some tool (like "git-gui")...? There was a similar discussion recently[1], not sure if it`s related to your case.
