[IPython-dev] git question

[Jörgen Stenarson]

I'm trying to get to know git. I have made my on fork on github 
following the instructions in the gitwash document. But when I try to 
commit I get the following error message. What is the recommended way to 
fix this? Should I just set i18n.commitencoding to utf-8? Or should it 
be something else?

I run on windows with portable-msysgit.

C:\python\external\ipython>git commit -m "Testing"
Warning: commit message does not conform to UTF-8.
You may want to amend it after fixing the message, or set the config
variable i18n.commitencoding to the encoding your project uses.
