The second and third tests of this script expected that Russian strings are converted between ISO-8859-5 and Shift_JIS in the "blame --porcelain" format output correctly. Sure, many platforms may convert between such a combination, but that is only because one of the base character set of Shift_JIS, JIS X 0208, defines codepoints for Russian characters (among others); I do not think anybody uses Shift_JIS when seriously writing Russian, and it is perfectly understandable if iconv() libraries on some platforms fail converting between this combination, as it does not matter in reality. This patch changes the test to verify Japanese strings are converted correctly between EUC-JP and Shift_JIS in the same procedure. The point of the test is not about verifying the platform's iconv() library, but to see if "git blame" makes correct iconv() library calls when it should. We could instead use ISO-8859-5 and KOI8-R as the combination, because they are both meant to represent Russian, in order to make this test meaningful on more platforms, but we already use Shift_JIS vs EUC-JP combinations to test other programs in our test suite, so this combination is safer from the point of view of the portability. Besides, I do not read nor write Russian; sorry ;-) This change allows tests to pass on my (friend's) Solaris 5.11 box. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
