I renamed the compat/darwin.[ch] into compat/precomposed_utf8.[ch]

According to my understanding, yes:
git_config is called with the custom function precomposed_unicode_config():

git_config(precomposed_unicode_config, NULL);


where
  precomposed_unicode_config()

fishes for the config variable  "core.precomposedunicode" and puts the 
result into
int precomposed_unicode_config.

After that, when precomposed_unicode_config==0, argv_precomposed() will 
return.


  I'll send the V3 RFC/PATCH
