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.
