[...] I'm fine going either way with authorship, and I can re-roll with that minor change (if Junio isn't interested in tweaking it while queueing).

My experience with FreeBSD ports is pretty limited too, but, as I discovered in [1], they run Git's configure script, so OLD_ICONV is determined dynamically, as far as I can tell.

You noticed the original problem, tested on FreeBSD, wrote the explanation, and figured out the firstword hackery. All I did was to say "somebody should fix this" and run "git log -S" a few times.

This seems sane, but just for context is FreeBSD ports itself just compiling without iconv entirely? [CC FreeBSD devel/git maintainer] $ uname -r; grep -ri iconv /usr/ports/devel/git 11.2-RELEASE-p2 /usr/ports/devel/git/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFINE= GUI SVN GITWEB CONTRIB P4 CVS HTMLDOCS PERL ICONV CURL \ /usr/ports/devel/git/Makefile:OPTIONS_DEFAULT= CONTRIB P4 CVS PERL GITWEB ICONV CURL SEND_EMAIL PCRE \ /usr/ports/devel/git/Makefile:ICONV_USES= iconv /usr/ports/devel/git/Makefile:ICONV_MAKE_ARGS_OFF= NO_ICONV=1 I have little clue about how ports works, but just noticed that they're not monkeypatching in OLD_ICONV there.
