From: Torsten Bögershausen <tbo...@web.de> RFC patch: convert files from e.g. UTF-16 into UTF-8 while running "git diff". The diff must be called with "git diff --UTF-8" and the "encoding" attribute must be set for the file(s).
The commit messages may need some improvements, and a closer look at diff.c, how command line options are forwared, is appreciated. It may even be possible to integrate t4066 somewhere...
