Thank you!  I'm glad my code was actually useful.

Now we may want to make git recode commit data to the repository
encoding.  Lots of iconv/glibc/portability fun on the horizon.  At very
least git should protest if both i18n.commitencoding and the locale
encoding are set to different values.

Another issue is support for non-ASCII characters in the filenames.
