UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between
UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be
a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings
(e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1].
Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated
list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the
conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute.
Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.

Add the GIT_TRACE_WORKING_TREE_ENCODING environment variable to enable
tracing for content that is reencoded with the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute. This is useful to debug encoding issues.

Check that new content is valid with respect to the user defined
'working-tree-encoding' attribute.

Git recognizes files encoded with ASCII or one of its supersets (e.g.
UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1) as text files. All other encodings are usually
interpreted as binary and consequently built-in Git text processing
tools (e.g. 'git diff') as well as most Git web front ends do not
visualize the content.
Add an attribute to tell Git what encoding the user has defined for a
given file. If the content is added to the index, then Git reencodes
the content to a canonical UTF-8 representation. On checkout Git will
reverse this operation.
