This is a feature request that depends on resolution of 23075.

Git for windows expects one coding system for log input, but returns a different one in log output.

In my specific example, with Russian language, I have to set up vc-git-commits-coding-system to windows-1251. But then, log output would still be in utf-8. Of course I can change this by setting git variable logoutputencoding, but this would screw up command line git log output. See this thread on help-gnu-emacs and this thread on Git for Windows google group for more details.

So, I propose adding another variable called vc-git-log-output-coding-system, that would serve as emacs counterpart to git's logoutputencoding, just as vc-git-commits-coding-system serves a counterpart to commitencoding.

When and if 23075 is fixed we can just set coding-system-for-read to this new variable(whenever it's set) in vc-git-print-log.
