Zhang LeI have a translation project which uses UTF-8 as charset. So the patch must be encoded in UTF-8, not just the commit msg etc. And we use google group as our mailing list.
Recently, mails saved from gmail are encoded using local charset based on google group's setting. This seems smart but it caused inconvinience for our project.
Since we can't no control on what google will do, so I took another way, i.e. add this option to git-mailinfo. I hope this could benefit others as well.
