The goal of this patch is to improve how UTF-8 characters are handled
when generating a diffstat. Details are provided in the commit message
of the patch itself.

In this cover letter I would like to ask if this patch (if it gets
accepted, obv) can be considered a valid GSoC "microproject".

Also, as this is my first contribution to Git, please let me know if I
made any mistakes!
