But an alternative workflow, if you really want UTF-16 in the working

out o the working tree. There's no built-in support for that, but you 
could do it with a custom clean/smudge filter. That would let Git 
store UTF-8 internally, do diffs, etc.

Oh, by the way, I totally forgot that we added an internal version of this, which is easier to configure and much more efficient. See the "working-tree-encoding" attribute in "git help attributes".

Just in case you do want to go that route.
