Re: [BUG REPORT] File names that contain UTF8 characters are unnecessarily escaped in 'git status .' messages

It's not clear from the conversation if git reads terminal capabilities 
at all.


But the default behavior, without any options set, should be to read 
terminal capabilities, and write non-ASCII characters verbatim when 
terminal supports this and escape them when terminal doesn't support them.

Current default behavior appears to be to always escape non-ASCII 
characters.


Then options can change this basic behavior according to user's choice.
