This can depend on configuration, both on gitweb configuration (you can for example define $default_blob_plain_mimetype to 'text/plain; charset=utf-8', and define $default_text_plain_charset to 'utf-8'), and on your /etc/mime.types; gitweb does not add charset info if mimetype is acquired from mime.types, which I guess is a mistake.
