Well, some people on the list seem to think UTF-8 is the one and
only right encoding, so for them if the message does not
identify what it is in, assuming UTF-8 and not doing any
conversion is probably the right thing ;-).

If you replace "assume" with "verify", then I agree.

One problem I have that approach is what to do if it does not
verify.  Reject and ask them to re-run the program with another
option --binary-log-message?

I found some test code I did a while ago for validation of
filesystem labels, cause D-BUS diconnects your session, if you
send an invalid utf-8 string to the bus. :)

Thanks.  I take it that you are licensing this code to use in
git when we doing what Linus suggests?
