Doesn't this deserve a document in Documentation/technical? It's also a good opportunity to document tree and tag object format in addition to commit object. I did not check thoroughly but the commit that introduced encoding field, 4b2bced, did not come with any document updates, so I assume it has not been documented ever since.
