Side note. The previous patch does not help if your commit were
made in non UTF-8 with not too recent git; the code assumes that
commit messages without the new "encoding" headers are in UTF-8.
We might want to help transitioning people by doing something
like this on top of the previous patch. Then when dealing with
an ancient commit (sorry, I am not saying commits older than 3
weeks are ancient -- but it will be 6 months from now ;-), you
can override that default by setting an environment variable.
