git fails when using French locale

Bug Description

I played around using the git version control and automatic save. I notice a git error 1 everytime I start zim using my French locale. Don't know if this is related to the accents used in the commit text (although I manually used the exact same line and it worked).

The error disappears if I first export LANG to en_US.

Here is the log when it crashes:

Looks related to the encoding of the message string.

Could you check the filesystem encoding as understood by python?

Run in a terminal:

  $ python -c "import sys; print sys.getfilesystemencoding()"

In particular would like to know if it differs if you change the LANG
variable. I don't expect so, but just to be sure.

Else it could be that git itself changes behavior for different LANG (which
is strange since both specify UTF8 encoding...). If so we need to do some
special conversion to make encoding match git's expectation.

Regards,

Jaap

Suggested command reports the same "UTF-8" output and thus using one or the other LANG variable.

$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
$ python -c "import sys; print sys.getfilesystemencoding()"

$ python -c "import sys; print sys.getfilesystemencoding()"

No the problem is an error in the git process, not in the zim process. So I
suspect that the way git decodes command line arguments depends on the
locale. Zim provides the command line arguments using "filesystem"
encoding, which is UTF8 in both cases. In specific the commit message
contains non-ascii characters, so wonder how that is handled in git.

Jaap

For sanity check I tried to use a different backend (hg) and I didn't experience any issue using my French locale. So problem is definitely git related.
