Side question:
has_non_ascii can mean different things:
 UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-x...

In short: everything. Should we be more critical here ?

May be this can be used from commit.c: static int verify_utf8(struct strbuf *buf)

Other question: Should the "non-ascii" characters in the test scripts be octal-escaped ?

Third question: What happens on systems, which don't have gettext, (for whatever reasons)

--- a/gettext.c
+++ b/gettext.c
@@ -166,12 +166,17 @@ void git_setup_gettext(void)
textdomain("git");
}

+int is_utf8_locale(void)
+{
+ return !strcmp(charset, "UTF-8");
+}


4th question:
What happens on systems which don't have locale support at all ?


As one may suspect, I'm not a friend of being dependent on gettext and/or
locale, at least not for this kind of business.

Would it make more sense to have a command line option ?
