I do not think we want to change the commit header, nor we would
want to re-encode, but I can see two possible improvements:

 (1) git-am should default to -u; this was suggested on the list
     long time ago, but is an incompatible change.  v1.5.0 we
     can afford to be incompatible to make it more usable and
     safer.

 (2) update commit-tree to reject non utf-8 log messages and
     author/committer names when i18n.commitEncoding is _NOT_
     set, or set to utf-8.

     Maybe later we can use encoding validation routines for
     other encodings by checking i18n.commitEncoding, but at the
     minimum the above would be safe enough for recommended UTF-8
     only cases.
