That's not very helpful. There can be many valid reasons for not using
utf-8, in our case compatibility with Windows tools is the main
reason. And even if we were to convert all our files today, it
wouldn't help when browsing older versions.

I'm not asking gitweb to magically guess the encoding of the files,
I'm happy with it replacing invalid sequences with some substitution
char, like it did before 1.5.2. But now it is deleting whole lines
from the diff, without any indication that something went wrong.
That's not an improvement IMNSHO.
