[allura:tickets] Re: #7900 Issue with encoding of filenames in git snapshot zip

[Dave Brondsema <da...@brondsema.net>]

This example works all the time.  (Although extracting on OSX ends up ok, whereas Linux has wrong characters)

I used the word "probably" because I don't know what triggers the issue and it might be dependent on how the file and repo are set up.

** [tickets:#7900] Issue with encoding of filenames in git snapshot zip**

If a git repo has a filename with unicode characters, and you download a snapshot zip file, then unzip it the filename will probably be wrong.

Example:  "Download Snapshot" link on https://sourceforge.net/p/compilibre/code/ci/master/tree/ and then "COMPILIBRE-source/COMPILIBRE/installer/Cliquez ici pour démarrer COMPILIBRE.bat" can end up as "Cliquez ici pour d+?marrer COMPILIBRE.bat" or "Cliquez ici pour démarrer COMPILIBRE.bat"

I wonder how easy this is to fix?  Does it matter what your git settings are, or how the file was added to the repo?  Or your local filesystem?
