What DVCS support Unicode filenames?
- by Craig McQueen
I'm interested in trying out distributed version control systems. git sounds promising, but I saw a note somewhere for the Windows port of git that says "don't use non-ASCII filenames". I can't find that now, but there is this link. It's put me off git for now, but I don't know if the other options are any better.
Support for non-ASCII filenames is essential for my Japanese company. I'm looking for one that internally stores filenames as Unicode, not a platform-dependent encoding which would cause endless grief. So:
What DVCS support Unicode filenames?
In both Windows and Linux?
Ideally, with the possibility to transfer repositories between Windows and Linux machines with minimal issues?
