343	git master: --enable-charset should automatically detect user's charset	slyfox	angel_il	"After recently merged utf-8 branch into master we got interesting (rather old) misfeature:
Encoding for output/view/edit is set to 'Other 8 bit' by default.
It is not true for most of modern distros, UTF-8 is almost everywhere nowadays.

When user tries to use git master he stucks with ant awful problem:
editor shows him dots only and user has to:
* switch display bits to UTF-8 (in F9 -> Dispaly bits)
* switch encoding via 'Ctrl+T' and set UTF-8 manually

My proposition:
* Display bits should not be choosable in menu:
    they should be detected via LC_CTYPE (nl_langinfo(CODESET))
* default encoding in editor should be equal to autodetected display bits (unless other is choosen explicitely via 'Ctrl+T')
