Similar cases:
config.c:git_default_core_config() assumes core.commentchar is ascii.
We should catch and report non-ascii chars, or simply accept it as a
string.
builtin/update-index.c:cmd_update_index(): error("unknown switch
'%c'", *ctx.opt);
builtin/apply.c:apply_one_fragment(): error(_("invalid start of line:
'%c'"), first); where 'first' may be a part of utf-8 from a broken
patch.
