As encoding lookups are currently cached, all this discussion is about the first viewing.

This patch addresses the time necessary to convert an arbitrary encoding name to a name that is known to Tcl, or determine that it is not supported. Without the patch it is done using a linear search through a large table of aliases. In git-gui it caused a noticeable delay before the Encoding submenu, which lists all available encodings, was displayed.
