Sorry, I should have checked myself.  defined-or "//" is 5.8.1 or later.

Now the real question was if we still support anything older, and if so
what is the bottom version?

I certainly can go with "5.8.1 or later", but I vaguely recall during the
gitweb discussion we said anything without the utf-8 support is unusable
for gitweb, but I think we also said that the rest of the git codebase
should support running with something older (5.6.1, perhaps).

Anybody?
