git gui has some utf-8 bugs: If you do git gui blame <file>, and the file contains utf-8 text, the lines are not parsed as utf-8, but seemingly as iso-8859-1 instead. Also, the hovering comment is INITIALLY shown garbled (both Author and commit message), but if you click on a line, so that the commit message is shown in the bottom window, the hovering message is magically corrected to utf-8. The text in the lower window (showing specific commits) seems to always be handled correctly. To reproduce: Set your author name to include some utf-8 tokens, add a line with some utf-8 tokens to a file, commit it with a commit message including some utf-8 tokens, and do git gui blame on the file. The line will be garbled in the top window, and the hovering message will be garbled until you click on the line.
