I hate to agree with Pavel, but the real issue here is you being
intentionally obtuse. Naked patches are not compatible with UTF-8.
To assume that UTF-8 is not converted anywhere is tantamount to the
fallacy of SPF: Everyone on the net must do foo, then nirvana happens.
If the code is being pulled git to git, UTF-8 is fine. Or send your
patches in MIME at the very least.
