Git log encoding

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

I'm using the Git Show Commit Logs action to get the commit messages since the latest build. These message are stored in utf-8 in git, however, finalbuilder treats it as ansi text.This causes some character to be displayed incorrectly:

Git Finalbuilder
é +®
ë +½

I'm capturing the output from the command with an output monitor. Is there a way to tell finalbuilder that the text is utf-8 encoded?

I found a way to let git convert the text to ansi. I added the option --encoding="CP850". This converts the text to code page 850, which is used in Western Europe.

In the US this should probably be CP437. It depends on the Windows Region settings.
