Yes. "encoding convertfrom" should do the trick. In some projects,
there may be files written in different encodings, such as gettext *.po
files. A patch updating several *.po files would have different parts
in different encodings.
I think gitk could have a submenu in the popup menu with the encodings
to chose from.
