+1; I think there's general agreement on this as the eventual fix.
FWIW I happened to check mercurial the other day, and it does what I
consider to be the "right thing":
$ locale | head -1
LANG=en_AU.utf8
$ hg init
$ touch x
$ hg addremove
adding x
$ hg ci -m 'Foo á – λ'
$ hg log | grep Foo
Foo á – λ
$ LC_ALL=en_AU.iso88591 hg log | grep Foo | iconv --from iso-8859-1
Foo á ? ?
$ LC_ALL=C hg log | grep Foo
Foo ? ? ?
We could do better than hg in this respect if we did "smart"
downconversion like iconv --to ascii//translit does:
$ iconv --to ascii//translit
“Cöordinate – ‘Déjà vu’—λ”
