### Please describe the problem.
|
|
|
|
Metadata are not stored in a consistent format. It seems more like git-annex chooses the "smallest" charset able to hold the data, i.e. US-ASCII, unless there are latin1 characters, and only UTF-8 if there are UTF-8 characters that are not in latin1
|
|
|
|
### What steps will reproduce the problem?

|
