Yes, I agree with you and Junio, a workaround like let the user to choose the code page in the viewer is more then enough.
And also in this case, a choice between the local codec and utf-8 should take almost all cases.
Because of this, I added a text codec selector in qgit, reachable from settings menu.
There is a new release, qgit-0.97.2, with this new feature and some good annotate fixes.
