Maybe it's just me, but for the range of systems perl aspires to port to it seems unlikely they'll all be equally Unicode-capable. I noticed it because they showed up as garbage in my email client, but maybe that was only because of the way RT wrapped the commits as attachments. > A lot of the non-ASCII in our commit history not "particularly > necessary": stuff like curly quotes (both from compiler messages and > manually typed), bullets, and ellipses. Yeah, that's the sort of stuff. If I'm the only one that considers such things to reduce the quality of the commit history, I'll have to live with it.
