Having lurked at this discussion for some time (I sometimes have to use
EBCDIC, the worst encoding ever invented). So I wanted to throw my "solution"
on the table :)
This is what we need, in my opinion.
1. Filesystem support for extended attributes (many file systems support this)
2. Standard utilities support for extended attributes (cp copies EA etc., tar
stores EA, etc.)
3. A standard for specifying encoding in EA.
4. Make diff, patch and friends aware of this and act accordingly.
5. Make tla store these extended attributes and changes together with the
files and changessets.
So in short, tla's job would be 5). As I believe tla would need to do 5) in
any case, this should not be so atrocious, no? And then those of us who have
to deal with these issues can work with getting 3 and 4 happen :)
For extra point, one could sit down and think about
6) tla handles conflicting encodings.
In my humble opinion, 6) should be handled by providing an appropriate hook
(which would be configured to either ignore, convert or refuse, I suppose.)
