Re: Cyrillic VC Git commit messages

That part implies that there is some new functionality in msysgit that 
does the recoding for windows cmd.exe.

It first decodes the message with logoutputencoding, then recodes it 
with windows-1252. If you set logoutputencoding to windows-1251, like I 
do, it breaks cmd.exe output.

For vc log the second encoding with windows-1252 does not happen.

For the commit message,  git first recodes from windows-1251 to utf-8 
and then recodes to commitencoding. This behavior is shared when called 
from VC and cmd.exe.

> First, vc-git-commits-coding-system is used only in 2 commands in vc-git
Yeah, but that's exactly the two commands we care about here. It sets 
coding-system-for-read for log and coding-system-for-write for commit 
message

> modify vc-git.el to use 2 variables
Thought about doing this, but first decided to see if I can get any 
help. Those git "hooks" do weird things to say the least.
