After set i18n.commitencoding = utf-8，The Log still commit in ANSI(GBK) In Windows

[KingLiang Gu]

Just as what the title tells，And see http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=557，
when I set  i18n.commitencoding = utf-8， The Log still commit in ANSI(GBK) In Windows，Which cause the log display as Garbled character in Linux git Client/TortiseGit。

This is the message mSYSGit gives me。

Warning: commit message does not conform to UTF-8.
You may want to amend it after fixing the message, or set the config
variable i18n.commitencoding to the encoding your project uses.

This is the correct URI

Perhaps you are misunderstanding the purpose of the configuration. It
does *not* mean

"I want the commit message to be encoded in xyz."

It rather means

"The text that I feed as commit message is encoded in xyz."

Therefore, I think that the correct setting would be

git config i18n.commitencoding cp936

When you change your editor to produce UTF-8 commit messages, then you
would have to adjust this configuration accordingly.
