The intent of i18n.commitencoding is to have something that is understood by iconv there, so if gitk does not work with these things spelled like. ISO8859-1 or ISO-8859-15, and qgit is happy with them, I would say that we should fix gitk, which means *workaround* should be on the tcl/tk side.

Tcl/Tk expert may have more thoughts (and I suspect experiences) on this, but I am not one of them.
