Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Auto diff of UTF-16 files in UTF-8
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Make it possible to show a user-readable diff for UTF-16 encoded files.
This would replace the "binary files differ" with something useful,
without breaking anything for existing users (?).
For future repos the w-t-e encoding can be used, which allows e.g. easier
merging.
People which stick to native UTF-16 because they need the compatiblity
with e.g. libgit2 can still get a readable diff.
Opinions ?
