	echo "WARNING this script is not intended as a full-fledged and fool-proof
migration utility, but rather as a proof of concept or collection of examples.
Use at your own risk.

In particular, the script doesn't check or fix any non-ascii names in config
files (such as .git/config, .gitignore or .gitmodules). For specific migration
tasks, some of the commands in this script may require tweaking.

Usage: recodetree <command>
recodetree check    Checks git repository for non-ascii file names.
recodetree preview  Same as 'check', but prints file names as if converted
                    from cp$(getcp) to UTF-8.
recodetree head     Converts the current HEAD from cp$(getcp) to UTF-8.
                    Does not commit, use git status to check results first.
recodetree history  Converts entire repository history from cp$(getcp) to UTF-8.
                    WARNING: this rewrites the history of the repository.
                    - Make a BACKUP copy of the repository before using this!
                    - Read 'git help filter-branch' for implications of
                      rewriting history."
