Dear Albert ARIBAUD,

So far we've been using ISO8859-1
It is not clear to me whether you're expressing a coding rule or just a statement of fact, so I'll ask more precise questions:
is UTF-8 allowed or not in u-boot?
if UTF-8 is allowed along with ISO8859-1, then a) which one should be
preferred for new files, and b) which should be preferred for patches to existing files?
- if UTF-8 is not allowed, then what should be done about the 56 u-boot
source files that currently are UTF-8?
Wolfgang, can you explicitly answer these points? In case the answer to question 3 is "they should be converted to ISO", of course being the one to raise the issue, I shall be the one to submit the fix.
So far this has not been "officially" decided yet. My personal preference is ISO-8859-1, so if nobody protests I suggest we add a "[i18n] commitencoding = ISO-8859-1" to the .git/config file.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
