Of the three solutions, I think the relative merits are something like
this:

  3. w-t-e (Lars's patch)

I thought Lars's w-t-e was about keeping the in-repo contents in
UTF-8 and externalize in whatever encoding (e.g. UTF-16), so it
won't help the issue hosting folks want to deal with, i.e. showing
in-repo data that is stored in a strange binary-looking encoding in
a more reasonable encodign while diffing, no?

I thought it solved that by the hosting folks never seeing the strange
binary-looking data. They see only utf8, which diffs well.
