I modified qgit to force the use of utf-8 codec instead of the local one, in my case ISO-8859-15. Now I can see Junio name in beautiful japanese characters, and also the correct 'Lukas Sandstrom' name. The problem is now qgit on my local git archives no more correctly shows special italian characters. So here we arrive at the points: 1) If utf8 is the 'only good one' for GIT repos why git-diff-tree uses the local codec, in my case ISO-8859-15. 2) If utf8 is not the 'only good one' but the commits are always saved using the local codec, how is possible to set the correct codec to use after pulling from a remote repo with a different codec (in this case public git repo that is in utf8).
