Module commit_encoding 

Git commit encoding labels (encoding header, i18n.commitEncoding) mapped to codecs.

Git’s ISO-8859-1 is strict Latin-1; encoding_rs maps that label to Windows-1252, so we handle Latin-1 separately.

Functions

decode_bytes

Decode bytes using Git’s encoding name, or lossy UTF-8 if unknown.

encode_header_text

Encode a single header field (author/committer line) without adding a trailing newline.

encode_unicode

Encode unicode for storage in a commit message body using Git’s encoding name.

ensure_body_trailing_newline

Git stores the commit message body with a trailing newline when non-empty.

reencode_utf8_to_label

Re-encode unicode from UTF-8 into output_label, or None if unsupported.

resolve

Resolve an encoding label the way Git uses it in config and commit objects.
