like a valid UTF-8 string, unless you explicitly say your
project uses a legacy encoding. The way to say this is to

message into UTF-8 unless otherwise specified. You can
specify the desired output encoding with

Note that we deliberately chose not to re-code the commit log
message when a commit is made to force UTF-8 at the commit
