1207 The pathnames recorded in the index and in the tree objects
1208    are treated as uninterpreted sequences of non-NUL bytes.
1209    What readdir(2) returns are what are recorded and compared
1210    with the data git keeps track of, which in turn are expected
1211    to be what lstat(2) and creat(2) accepts.  There is no such
1212    thing as pathname encoding translation.

1217 The contents of the blob objects are uninterpreted sequences

1229 <div class="paragraph"><p>Although we encourage that the commit log messages are encoded

1233 does not forbid it.  However, there are a few things to keep in

1238 <em>git commit</em> and <em>git commit-tree</em> issues
1239   a warning if the commit log message given to it does not look
1240   like a valid UTF-8 string, unless you explicitly say your
1241   project uses a legacy encoding.  The way to say this is to
1242   have i18n.commitencoding in <tt>.git/config</tt> file, like this:

1252 implies that the commit log message is encoded in UTF-8.</p></div>

1256 <em>git log</em>, <em>git show</em>, <em>git blame</em> and friends look at the

1258   log message into UTF-8 unless otherwise specified.  You can
1259   specify the desired output encoding with
1260   <tt>i18n.logoutputencoding</tt> in <tt>.git/config</tt> file, like this:
1261 </p>
1262 <div class="listingblock">
1263 <div class="content">

1271 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that we deliberately chose not to re-code the commit log
1272 message when a commit is made to force UTF-8 at the commit

1274 reversible operation.</p></div>
