Message-ID: <pull.1291.git.git.1657837073372.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

```
From: Julian Prein <druckdev@protonmail.com>

Currently the diff-filter that is used to check for non-ASCII characters
in filenames only checks new additions.

Extend the diff-filter in the pre-commit sample to include `CR` as well.
This way non-ASCII character in filenames are detected on a rename/copy
as well.

It would probably be a better implementation to disable the rename
detection, instead of adding Copies and Renames.

That is ...

... instead of using the "git diff" Porcelain, we can probably use
the "git diff-index" plumbing command here, which will not be
affected by end-user configuration or by the fact that recent "git
diff" turns on the rename detection by default.

Subject: [PATCH v2] hooks--pre-commit: detect non-ASCII when renaming
Message-ID: <pull.1291.v2.git.git.1701360836307.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/pull.1291.v2.git.git.1701360836307.gitgitgadget%40gmail.com
In-Reply-To: <pull.1291.git.git.1657837073372.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

```
From: Julian Prein <druckdev@protonmail.com>

When diff.renames is turned on, the diff-filter will not return renamed
files (or copied ones with diff.renames=copy) and potential non-ASCII
characters would not be caught by this hook.

Use the plumbing command diff-index instead of the porcelain one to not
be affected by diff.rename.

    A bit later than I expected, but here is v2.

     * Switched to using diff-index and back to just the A filter as

Makes sense.

An obvious alternative would be to pass "--no-renames" and keep
using the Porcelain "git diff", but this is how the plumbing
"diff-index" and friends are meant to be used.  Looking good.

Will queue.  Thanks.
