show the same (wrong) behaviour on Debian sarge. They do not always
decode non UTF-8 characters correctly, eg.
#öäü does not work
#äöüä does work
On Debian etch, both versions are working.
I don't know enough Perl to decide if it is a bug in gitweb usage
of decode_utf8, if it is a bug in your version of Encode, or if it
is bug in Encode.
Send copy of this mail to maintainers of Encode perl module.
The bug affects old versions of perl (Debian sarge = oldstable).
As it works on the newer Debian etch, do you really think, that it is
a good idea to report issue?
How would you handle a bug report, which reports a bug for gitweb in GIT
1.4, and tells you, that a newer versions works?
As Debian sarge has reached its end of life, the distribution will
probable also issue no update.
