- If pseudo console is disabled, non-cygwin apps do not detect
console device. In this case, some apps output UTF-8 regardless
of the locale setting. At least git-for-windows, rust-based apps
and node.js do that. This patch provides backward compatibility
as default behaviour by setting console codepage to the charset of
the locale. Even in the cases above, garbled output is prevented
with this patch in most cases because mintty uses UTF-8 by default.
I beleave this is not really a problem in cygwin side but that in
app side, however, some users complain about garbled output with
existing apps in MSYS2 (which is based on cygwin) in which pseudo
console is disabled by default.
