Problem with special charachters in usernames on os x #93

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
hi ...
i have a username in a gitlog of köstlin (with a german umlaut).
i added corresponding png-files to render an icon.
but the string that readdir in osx (hfs) delivers is something different 
(something with composed / decomposed utf-8).
see the patch at: 
http://github.com/gizmomogwai/Gource/commit/5942d7a1044523be14158c13a953f79c2e7d
35dc 
there i convert the encoding of the direntries with corefoundation calls.

perhaps as an alternative email-addressed could be used instead of usernames (i 
am not sure, if strange characters are allowed in email addresses nowadays).
