Although "wide encoding" is a reasonable guess at cause of embedded zero characters (and so a useful term for diagnostic messages, as it can help users identify the problem in their environment which is causing such zero bytes), it's really only a guess in most cases... Shouldn't the variable be named based on what it actually does, which is allow zero-bytes in commit messages...? -Miles -- Cat is power.  Cat is peace.
