```
$ gtcf --get-regexp i18n.*
i18n.logoutputencoding GBK
$ locale | grep LC_CTYPE
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GBK
$ git --version
git version 1.5.3.4

And my terminal encoding is GBK

$ git log --pretty=oneline
msgs with chinese character displayed correctly

However
$ git log --pretty=format:%s
the chinese character doesn't display correctly

Yes, indeed, --pretty=format has always ignored encodings.  I'll see if
I can cook up a patch later this week, if nobody beats me to it.
