It's a pity, but too late to change.[1]
What do you think about a patch that makes git-commit-tree call iconv on
its input to get it to UTF-8 (or any other charset). Maybe it
makes sense to add another header to commit objects (e.g.
"charset UTF-8") if something in the commit object is non-ASCII?
In my eyes it would make sense to even force UTF-8 for commit logs (and
author, committer). The downside is that it becomes impossible to store
arbitrary byte sequences in commit objects. (IMHO not a real
limitation.)
Best regards
Uwe
[1] actually I think it's worse, because my iconv (from Debian's libc6
version 2.3.6.ds1-8) was unable to convert it correctly to utf-8 for
any encoding that starts with ISO-2022.
