[TortoiseCVS] Code page problem with commit messages in v1.6.1

[Danail M. <dma...@ac...>]

Hi all, and thank you for this great software!

I'm using TortoiseCVS 1.6.1 on WinXP SP1.

My problem:

It is with codepage of commit messages. If keyboard input language is set to
Bulgarian at the moment of hitting of OK button on the Commit dialog,
comments are sent correct to the CVS server. But if it is switched back to
English, comments look like "?????? English ???? text ???? here ??????
???????". For me that mean that incorrect codepage is used. For Cyrillic it
is Windows 1251.

I know that this is common Windows behavior (very stupid and annoying
IMHO) - I mean that sometimes I have to switch keyboard to Bulgarian input
language for to be to able to copy/paste Cyrillic text from/to Notepad. BUT
while in Notepad this can be fixed easy with copy/paste again after keyboard
switching, in TCVS all wrong comments are already written to repository. And
if my last commit contains a lot of files, and if I don't want my repository
to be full with meaningless "???????????" comments, I have to walk through
every committed file and update its comment via History dialog. This is big
problem, and practically prevents me from using Cyrillic comments in
repository. It was introduced somewhere in latest releases of TortoiseCVS
1.6.x - I use TCVS since v1.2.2, and it was not a problem for me before.

Can this be reverted, or made an option at least, please? It can be -
"Default codepage for commit messages", or something like this. Or at least
can somebody point me where I can download some of previous 1.6 beta builds
of TCVS?

Regards,
Danail
