There is an attribute "working-tree-encoding" that can be used to have the files in "UTF-16LE-BOM" (in your case) in your working tree and in UTF-8 inside the repo. This will allow commands like "git diff" to display added/deleted lines in UTF-8. More details may be found here: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes I hope that helps
