+       commitWideEncoding::

+               proceed because there are NULs in commit message.
+               Default: true.
Although "wide encoding" is a reasonable guess at cause of embedded
zero characters (and so a useful term for diagnostic messages, as it
can help users identify the problem in their environment which is
causing such zero bytes), it's really only a guess in most cases...

Shouldn't the variable be named based on what it actually does, which
is allow zero-bytes in commit messages...?
