That depends on your point of view.  David's assertion was that git
internally uses UTF-8.
Well, I'm inclined to say he was wrong. Git internally is completely
oblivious to character encoding.
See the 'i18n.commitencoding' property, stored in the repository config
and defaulting to UTF-8. Git is certainly capable of converting to its
internal storage encoding when you commit; if it doesn't do so by
default then that would be a bug.
