Yeah, I think things get pretty weird when you start thinking about
dumping whole filenames and diff contents.
I wouldn't be opposed to an option for the pretty formatter to have
encodings. Something like:
git log --format='%(authorname:quote=html)'
I'd probably put off implementing that until we actually unify the
for-each-ref and pretty formats, though (we do not even have
%(authorname) at this point!). The latter already has a quoting
mechanism for shell/perl/python/tcl (though it is not per-atom, and I
wouldn't be opposed to a --format-quote option that quoted all pretty.c
placeholders).
