In the past, people made a similar problem when 'git send-email' was asking if a message was in-reply-to something else (the number of messages incorrectly threaded to a message-id of 'y' or 'n' was evidence of the poor quality of the question). git.git commit 51bbccfd1b4a corrected that problem. Sounds like charset encoding is another case where the interactive parser should be taught to balk at nonsense encoding answers?
