pretty: --format output should honor logOutputEncoding
One can set an alias
$ git config [--global] alias.lg "log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset
-%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cd) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset'
--abbrev-commit --date=local"
to see the log as a pretty tree (like *gitk* but in a terminal).
However, log messages written in an encoding i18n.commitEncoding which differs
from terminal encoding are shown corrupted even when i18n.logOutputEncoding
and terminal encoding are the same (e.g. log messages committed on a Cygwin box
with Windows-1251 encoding seen on a Linux box with a UTF-8 encoding and vice versa).
To simplify an example we can say the following two commands are expected
to give the same output to a terminal:
