I’m trying to convert an existing SVN repository to GIT using git-svn clone but versioned files with special characters in the filename like “ö” are showing as “ö” after migration. Obviously, git-svn saves the filenames “as is” – I assume that SVN stores filenames in UTF-8 (as done with the logs), but my Windows uses windows-1252 encoding.
Is it possible to force git-svn to change the filename encoding? Didn’t find anything in the manuals.
Unfortunately there seems to be a issue with msysgit: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=80
Although, git in Cygwin doesn’t have this issue.
