Problems with encoding of the (automatic) messages (merges/commits) on Windows #1923

Screenshot from 2019-11-29 12-48-00 You can find session logs by date and version information in: ~/.config/org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare/logs/ on Linux and macOS C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\org.sparkleshare.SparkleShare\logs\ on Windows

To help us help you, please include the logs from around the time the issue occurred, as well as the SparkleShare version and info about your OS (displayed at the top of the log files). Then, tell us roughly in these steps what went wrong:

What happened:

On Windows7 there were problems with encoding of the (automatic) messages (merges/commits) on Windows. See screenshot. It probably used Windows encoding instead of UTF8.

What I expected to happen:

Readable text.

This happens when:

  1. On adding files into project directory.

Another question: two files were added by SparkleShare:

  1. .sparkleshare
  2. SparkleShare.txt

Are they necessary or can I delete them(one of them)? Can I put them into .gitignore, if they are necessary?

You might also want to add GitLab (into the list of predefined hosts) into the Windows version(it is present of Linux version)

Thank you very much! It worked very well and helps to collaborate with non-technical people!!!!

Thanks for reporting your issue or feature request, it helps lots!
