My knee-jerk reaction is "yeah, why not? what are the downsides,
other than the result will not be bit-for-bit identical to the
output from older Git".  I am sure I am missing something as I do
not regularly use this format.

In this codepath, do you have the path of the thing the buffer
contents came from?  I am wondering if consulting the attributes
system is a better idea. Anything that is explicitly marked as
"binary" or "-diff" is definitely binary, and anything that is not
marked as "binary" is text to us for all practical purposes, no?
