Re: Possible bug: "git log" ignores "--encoding=UTF-8" option if --pretty=format:%e%n%s%n is used

What about "git rev-list --pretty=raw"? Is that also porcelain?

Does it re-encode?  I didn't check, but ideally it shouldn't (but I do not
care too much either way, to be honest).

I would be curious to hear your take on our failure to respect
--encoding for --pretty=format. Is it a bug to be fixed, or a historical
behavior to be maintained?

I think the fix you outlined was quite reasonable.
