If you're using PowerGUI use the File->Encoding menu to choose UTF-8. PowerGUI's default encoding doesn't seem to work nicely in Git.

is there a git config issue or is it sourcetree?

Any suggestions? (TortoiseGit has no issue diffing the file)

I'm sorry to hear that didn't work for you; I was feeling quite positive after I got it working on my system.

Is it possible you've modified your .gitattributes trying to fix this? A line like *.ps1 -text might be problematic (I'm no expert).

My .gitattributes contains:

*.ps1diff
*.ps1text

When I made the encoding change, I had to do a "garbage commit" -- my term for when a commit doesn't involve semantic change, but rather changes imposed by a tool. My diff looked like this:

The beginning of the diff also contains some funky characters, which I believe are referred to as the BOM by Unicode enthusiasts.

HTH,
