I agree that console output for windows users for example of commit messages should be readable regardless of system encoding. I still think conversions are not appropriate for output of fossil artifact (you are asking for the artifact verbatim) This is also why I made the change in blob_write_to_file and not in fossil_puts. As I windows user myself, I expected fossil artifact uuid > file to work. I would not be surprised if fossil wrappers use this on windows to display specific artifacts.
