On musl libc, ISO-2022-JP encoder is too eager to switch back to
1 byte encoding, musl's iconv always switch back after every combining
character. Comparing glibc and musl's output for this command
$ sed q t/t3900/ISO-2022-JP.txt| iconv -f ISO-2022-JP -t utf-8 |
	iconv -f utf-8 -t ISO-2022-JP | xxd

glibc:
00000000: 1b24 4224 4f24 6c24 5224 5b24 551b 2842  .$B$O$l$R$[$U.(B
00000010: 0a                                       .

musl:
00000000: 1b24 4224 4f1b 2842 1b24 4224 6c1b 2842  .$B$O.(B.$B$l.(B
00000010: 1b24 4224 521b 2842 1b24 4224 5b1b 2842  .$B$R.(B.$B$[.(B
00000020: 1b24 4224 551b 2842 0a                   .$B$U.(B.

Although musl iconv's output isn't optimal, it's still correct.

From commit 7d509878b8, ("pretty.c: format string with truncate respects
logOutputEncoding", 2014-05-21), we're encoding the message to utf-8
first, then format it and convert the message to the actual output
encoding on git commit --squash.

Thus, t3900 is failing on Linux with musl libc.

Reencode to utf-8 before arranging rebase's todo list.

    The todo list shown to user has already been reencoded by sequencer_make_script,

Since the re-encoded commit messages are only used for figuring out the
relationships between the `fixup!`/`squash!` commits and their targets,
but are not used in any of the lines that are written out, this change
looks good to me.

In fact, all three patches look good to me.

Thanks for unbreaking Git with musl!

I'm confused about a few things here, though. I agree with you that the
subjects here are only used for finding the fixup/squash relationships.
But I don't understand the musl connection.

Wouldn't failure to reencode here always be a problem? E.g., if I do:

  for encoding in utf-8 iso-8859-1; do
    # commit using the encoding
    echo $encoding >file && git add file
    echo "éñcödèd with $encoding" | iconv -f utf-8 -t $encoding |
      git -c i18n.commitEncoding=$encoding commit -F -
    # and then fixup without it
    echo "$encoding fixed" >file && git add file
    git commit --fixup HEAD
  done
  
  GIT_EDITOR='echo; grep -v ^#' git rebase -i --root --autosquash

then the resulting todo-list output (on my glibc system) is:

  pick 3a5bace éñcödèd with utf-8
  fixup aa9f09c fixup! éñcödèd with utf-8
  pick 6e85d32 éñcödèd with iso-8859-1
  pick 3ceac05 fixup! éñcödèd with iso-8859-1

I.e., we don't actually match up the second pair, and I think we
probably ought to.

I guess the test in t3900 is less exotic; it uses the same encoding for
both commits. And it's just that "foo" and "!fixup foo" can (and do in
musl) end up with different encodings (because of the specific language,
and the vagaries of each iconv implementation).

Would we have similar problems in all of the other functions which use
get_commit_buffer() without reencoding? For instance if I do this:

  echo base >file && git add file && git commit -m base
  for encoding in utf-8 iso-8859-1; do
    echo $encoding >file && git add file
    echo "éñcödèd with $encoding" | iconv -f utf-8 -t $encoding |
      git -c i18n.commitEncoding=$encoding commit -F -
  done
  git checkout -b side HEAD~2
  git cherry-pick master master^
  cat .git/sequencer/todo

then the resulting todo file has a mix of iso-8859-1 and utf-8.

It seems to me that we should always be working with the subjects in a
single encoding internally, and likewise outputting in that format
(which should probably be git_log_output_encoding(), for the instances
where we show it to the user).

I.e., we should always call logmsg_reencode() instead of
get_commit_buffer().

You're right.

Because of musl's iconv implementation, the problem is being shown up
earlier.

Yes, we ought to match up the second pair, and after changing
get_commit_buffer to logmsg_reencode, we do.

I'm in favour of this idea.

This is git's current behaviour but it's get_log_output_encoding()
instead of git_log_output_encoding().
