Thanks Polytropon for your reply. I am seeing this issue with these image as are (by only installing `git` and no other alterations made to the OS whatsoever): ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/10.2-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64.vhd.xz.ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/10.1-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64.vhd.xz. Should those be considered as standard installation? Maybe it is related to keyboard layout as when I press Del key in text editor or command line, I get tilde (~) sign instead of getting character at cursor deleted (so I use Backspace for deletion which works perfectly fine)? > Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:57:44 +0200 > From: freebsd@edvax.de > To: danglingpointer@outlook.com > Subject: Re: git diff encoding issue when running via Hyper-V > CC: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > > On Wed, 30 Sep 2015 14:31:36 +0000, Dangling Pointer wrote: > > Hi, > > When I run FreeBSD 10.1 or 10.2 x64 via Hyper-V on Windows 10, the > > encoding of `git diff` command emits cluttered text (with lots of > > "ESC[m" noise) like: > > ESC[31m-setup_dirs()ESC[m > > ESC[32m+ESC[mESC[32msetup_dirs2()ESC[m > > instead of: > > -setup_dirs()+setup_dirs2() > > I don't know what to make of it. > > This looks like color codes... > > > > > Can somebody please let me know if this is a bug or do I need to > > configure something? > > The pager (and the attached terminal emulator) should be able to > convert those codes (Escape, [, code sequence) into something > meaningful, usually a change of display attributes such as color, > inverse, underlined (or whatever the terminal supports).
