Questions & Answers

Q: How to exclude files?
A: Mark paths you want to exclude in the .gitattributes file with the export-ignore attribute. Read more on git-scm.com.
Q: What about non-unicode filenames?
A: All filenames that particular version of Python can represent and handle are supported. Extra [en|de]coding is done where appropriate.
