Hi Calvin,

Sure, let me demonstrate with clean git repo:

mkdir git_test; cd git_test
git init
touch Київ.txt Kyiv.txt Маріуполь.txt Mariupol.txt
git add -A
git commit -m 'foobar'

Now let's check with GNU awk `git log --stat` strings width in bytes:
$ git log --stat | LC_ALL=C awk '/txt/{print length($0), $0}'
27  Kyiv.txt               | 0
27  Mariupol.txt           | 0
27  Київ.txt           | 0
27  Маріуполь.txt | 0

And strings width in unicode characters:
$ git log --stat | LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 awk '/txt/{print length($0), $0}'
27  Kyiv.txt               | 0
27  Mariupol.txt           | 0
23  Київ.txt           | 0
18  Маріуполь.txt | 0

See, all lines are aligned to have length 27 bytes. But on the screen
this looks distorted because length in characters differs.

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for the report! I attempted to reproduce with the steps you
provided, but was unable to do so. What commands would I have to run
on a clean git repository to reproduce this?
