It'd be nice to hear more about why you think that would be a mistake. I'd rather have One True Encoding for patchlogs so I don't need to support Windows-1252 to see my win32 colleague's curly quotes.
Your later comments suggest that tla should support Unicode transcoding directly, so why not transcode the patchlog to utf-8 as part of the cooking process at commit time?
