Module encoding 

Commit encoding helpers for non-UTF-8 commit messages.

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.

finalize_stored_commit_message

Prepare a commit message for storage per i18n.commitEncoding (or equivalent).

find_invalid_utf8

Find the offset of the first byte that is not part of a strictly valid UTF-8 sequence, mirroring Git’s find_invalid_utf8 (commit.c).

identity_raw_for_serialized_commit

Raw author / committer header payloads for a new commit object.

is_strict_utf8

Whether buf is strictly valid UTF-8 per Git’s rules (see find_invalid_utf8).

resolve

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