Hi,

We're using alpha4 with perforce, and posting diffs with post-review.py,
hitting this error:

Upgraded to beta2 and still have this error.
#2 ciao****@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.) 
We're having this same issue. Diff has some non-ascii characters. What can we do to
address? I'm seeing this in the diff for example, not sure how these characters
should be decoded: "�"

What character set was used for that character?

#4 ciao****@gmai***** (Google Code) (Is this you? Claim this profile.) 
The characters are in a person's name. The file is from a third-party tool's RPM spec
file (For DNS BIND.) I unfortunately don't know of a way to determine the character
set used in this case.

I think the only real solution we have is to fix files with busted characters. We
can't really do anything with random text without knowing the character set.

keith, the issue you have is actually fixed in the nightlies and will be part of the
upcoming RBTools release (hopefully this weekend).

No, that bug you're seeing is separate, but it's filed and fixed in the nightlies. A
new release will be made soon.
