git status doesn't show paths with escaped characters

[mkielek]

Hi,

Great tool!

There's one minor issue.
git status for an example file name with the ü character.txt would return:
file name with the \303\274 character.txt
for git status -z:
file name with the ü character.txt
but unfortunately ugit skips the file.

Please fix me in spare time ;).

@mkielek thanks for reporting this. I think I've seen some issues with git and multibyte characters before. Do you have a repo you can point me to that helps reproduce this issue?

Unfortunately I can't point you to the repo as we don't use ugit. I was only experimenting with this.
But you can use the following repro steps:

git init
New-Item -Path "file name with the ü character.txt"
git status
# see output 1 below

git status -z
# see output 2 below

Install-Module ugit -Scope CurrentUser
Import-Module ugit -Force -PassThru
git status
# see output 3 below

# output 1
On branch master

No commits yet

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        "file name with the \303\274 character.txt"

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

# output 2
?? file name with the ü character.txt

# output 3
GitRoot: <root path>

On Branch: master
