* remove old closed bugs and todo items to speed up wiki updates and reduce sizeGravatar Joey Hess2014-05-29
| | | | | | | | Remove closed bugs and todos that were least edited before 2014. Command line used: for f in $(grep -l '\[\[done\]\]' *.mdwn); do if [ -z $(git log --since=2014 --pretty=oneline "$f") ]; then git rm $f; git rm -rf $(echo "$f" | sed 's/.mdwn$//'); fi; done
* put in utf8 forcing workaroundGravatar Joey Hess2011-03-08
| | | | | | | | | Haskell's IO layer crashes on characters > 255 when in a non-unicode (latin1) locale. Until Haskell gets better behavior, put in an admittedly ugly workaround for that: git-annex forces utf8 output mode no matter what locale is selected. So if you use a non-utf8 locale, your filenames with characters > 127 will not be displayed as you'd expect. But at least it won't crash.

* Fix display of unicode filenames.Gravatar Joey Hess2011-02-10
Internally, the filenames are stored as un-decoded unicode. I tried decoding them, but then haskell tries to access the wrong files. Hmm. So, I've unhappily chosen option "B", which is to decode filenames before they are displayed.
