[PATCH 0/3] MSYS Unicode support

[karste...@dcon.de]

Hey,

I finally managed to build a working unicode-enabled msys.dll (turns out it was mainly a matter of switching to the msys branch...). The less scrolling/color issues seem to be fixed with less-444, so I added a build recipe for that.

This seems to work quite well with the unicode-enabled git (at least I haven't encountered any problems so far, though I admit my git vocabulary is limited). The home directory problem (issue 108) is gone, and msys-built progams (perl, bash etc.) seem to deal with non-ASCII filenames properly...yippee.

A git installer that bundles the unicode msys.dll, less-444 and git v1.7.5 with unicode-v9-full patches can be found here: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0BxXUoUg2r8ftOWI3ZWI4MWEtNGJhOS00NjUxLWJhZTktMTdlNDZlY2MwYzU5&export=download

Next on my git schedule is a reroll of the git unicode patch series (remove patches that have kindly been merged (thanks, Erik), fix i18n tests, probably reorder the environment stuff again etc.).

Have fun,
Karsten
