Wouldn't such encoding more logically be a part of whatever is used for 
the transport? My experience (other than emailing patches to the git 
list :-[ ) in this area is that encode / decode of attachments is 
handled transparently by email clients. My email programs (including 
command line scripts) all know how to mime encode / decode arbitrary 
attachments, so I at least would gain nothing by such encoding.
