---------------------------------------

             Summary: Git Commit encoding is platform-dependend instead of UTF-8
                 Key: SCM-834
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-834
             Project: Maven SCM
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: maven-scm-provider-gitexe
    Affects Versions: 1.9.4
            Reporter: Tobias Gruetzmacher


When doing a release with the maven-release-plugin, if you have a non-ASCII-character in your commit message (setting scmCommentPrefix to "lösung" for example), the resulting commit message has a different encoding on different operating systems. If it isn't UTF-8 (on Windows, for example), git complains with

{code}
Warning: commit message did not conform to UTF-8.
You may want to amend it after fixing the message, or set the config
variable i18n.commitencoding to the encoding your project uses.
{code}

AFAICS, the fix is pretty simple: Just add "UTF-8" to the call of fileWrite in [GitCheckInCommand.java|https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/blob/master/maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-providers-git/maven-scm-provider-gitexe/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/scm/provider/git/gitexe/command/checkin/GitCheckInCommand.java#L74]
