Non-ASCII Git author name not (always) recognized
Sometimes, my author name isn't recognized. E.g., the following commit is listed as committed by unknown
:
https://www.ohloh.net/p/erlang/commits/114114439
The header of this Git commit is:
commit bcf3b3d0d589666575d9b044d0779be2e40e1762
tree df86d361b39d348d3f24ce91762e3af9b78c8fe5
parent f26528bbea0a24674e797a58b97117c1f8cf163f
author Holger Weiß 1289426624 +0100
committer Holger Weiß 1289984798 +0100
encoding ISO-8859-15
Maybe oloh doesn't like the non-UTF-8 encoding? A UTF-8 encoded commit in the same repository has been recognized just fine:
https://www.ohloh.net/p/erlang/commits/106980102
Sometimes, my author name isn't recognized. E.g., the following commit is listed as `committed by unknown':
The mentioned commit is listed properly by now, but only because I created an alias (which requires project admin privileges).
It seems as if ohloh ignores the encoding
header of Git commits instead of using it to convert the author name (and the rest of the commit) to UTF-8 before processing it. It would be nice if that could be fixed.
