EGit (Eclipse) wrongly interpreting file names with non-ASCII characters?
- by Stefan Seidel

How can I make Eclipse/EGit use the correct encoding for filenames? I tried setting LANG, file.encoding and the git config svn.pathnameencoding all to no avail. And again, on the command line there are no such errors.
