It's not clear from the conversation if git reads terminal capabilities 
at all.


But the default behavior, without any options set, should be to read 
terminal capabilities, and write non-ASCII characters verbatim when 
terminal supports this and escape them when terminal doesn't support them.

Current default behavior appears to be to always escape non-ASCII 
characters.


Then options can change this basic behavior according to user's choice.
