            Bug ID: 27299
           Summary: git hooks should not require ISO-8859-15 encoding in
                    git logs
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: admin
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vapier at gentoo dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

i just tried to push a commit with UTF-8 characters but it was rejected:

remote: *** Invalid revision history for commit
6829d0d96d505e70b582e653c923294c7fed206b:
remote: *** It contains characters not in the ISO-8859-15 charset.
remote: ***
remote: *** Below is the first line where this was detected (line 5):
remote: *** |   common/cgen-accfp.c: In function ‘fixsfsi’:
remote: ***                                      ^
remote: ***                                      |
remote: ***
remote: *** Please amend the commit's revision history to remove it
remote: *** and try again.

i'd somewhat understand if we wanted to force the git log to only contain ASCII
characters, but ISO-8859-15 is pretty weird.  imo the only non-ASCII charset we
should ever use/require is UTF-8.  it's 2021, not 2001!
