Yes, but the code is stored in git as UTF-8 and defined as UTF-8 when working on other platforms. You can specify the zos-working-tree-encoding is ISO-8859-1... it seems like this conversion could cause problems.
Alternatively, zos-working-tree-encoding of UTF-8 presumably transfers the data without conversion, but it sounds like some programs have problems using it?
Normally, I think I want IBM-1047 which has the same potential conversion issues to/from git... you just have to be careful editing on other platforms.
