TortoiseGitBlame and UTF-16

By Borisov.Ger... on October 03, 2011 09:16 (imported from Google Code)


Many Microsoft's editors saves non-ascii text files in utf-16 encoding by default (for example, Visual Studio and Notepad)

But Blame can't show text in two-bytes encodings.

  1. Create file in utf-16 codepage (example in attachment)
  2. add and commit it to git
  3. TorioiseGit -> Blame

In files with UTF-16 LE WITH BOM encoding only first line shown correctly, all characters in other lines loor like boxes. TortoiseMerge (Diff) display files in this codepages correctly.
