Subject: Re: Policty question - encoding to use in git repository?

The closest thing we have to an encoding policy is given in the "Source
file encoding" section of admin/notes/unicode.
The history is that there's been fitful recoding to UTF-8 over the
years. About the time I wrote "Source file encoding" (March 2013), I
recoded several files. Juanma recoded a bunch of ChangeLogs in March
2008 -- these are the most-relevant to the issue of what should appear
in the repository. I assume there are other recodings as well; I
haven't kept track.
While we're on the topic of normalization, is it the intent to normalize
spelling of author and committer names in the repository? E.g., replace
"François_Pinard" with "François Pinard" (no underscore)? Or replace
"Richard M. Stallman" and "Richard M Stallman" with "Richard Stallman"?
How about email addresses? Perhaps you've already addressed this
point but if so I'm afraid I forgot what you wrote.
