OK, will change.

This should be covered in git_path_check_encoding(),
introduced in v12:
/* Don't encode to the default encoding */
if (same_encoding(value, default_encoding))
return NULL;
In that function the encoding of a certain file is read from
the .gitattributes. If the encoding matches the compile-time
defined default encoding (= UTF-8), then the encoding is set
to NULL.

I see your point. However, I would like to stop the processing right
there for these invalid values. How about
error(_("true/false are no valid working-tree-encodings"));
I think that is the most straight forward/helpful error message
for the enduser (I consider the term "boolean" but dismissed it
as potentially confusing to folks not familiar with the term).
OK with you?

Yes, that was fixed in v12 as mentioned above :-)
