I can understand if some tools in the Windows land prefer to work with
these encodings, so clean/smudge to have the checkout in these encodings
would be a reasonable thing not just diff but things like grep. On the
other hand, I do doubt the sanity of these people if they want to have
in-repository representation also in these encodings.

So I do not think "it is just for diff" is any improvement.
