Subject: What happen if show_http_message fails to reencode?
Message-ID: <CAFT+Tg9x3QfS4c93Bs_Oq0zc7bXvZdFZQAKJFPtqbp6M=Q-P0g@mail.gmail.com>

I'm trying to make my git server sends http messages in non-ASCII
encoding. And I have a question.

At 206-218 in remote-curl.c:

> static int show_http_message(struct strbuf *type, struct strbuf *charset,
>                  struct strbuf *msg)
> {
>     const char *p, *eol;
>
>     /*
>      * We only show text/plain parts, as other types are likely
>      * to be ugly to look at on the user's terminal.
>      */
>     if (strcmp(type->buf, "text/plain"))
>         return -1;
>     if (charset->len)
>         strbuf_reencode(msg, charset->buf, get_log_output_encoding());

What happen if the message has a character which cannot be encoded by
the encoding defined by i18n.logoutputencoding? Drops only the
character or brakes the whole message?
