From 1a729ccb930f3c3e206117aeb4f536c9864e09c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Sixt Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2026 10:46:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: mark *.po files at any directory level as UTF-8 When a commit is viewed in Gitk that changes a file in po/glossary, the patch text shows mojibake instead of correctly decoded UTF-8 text. Gitk retrieves the encoding attribute to decide how to treat the bytes that make up the patch text. There is an attribute definition that all files are US-ASCII, and a later attribute definition overrides this. But the override, which specifies UTF-8, applies only to *.po files in directory po/ and does not apply to subdirectories. Widen the pattern to apply to all directory levels.
