+*** New options for customizing encoding of Git commit log messages.
+The new options `vc-git-commits-coding-system' and
+`vc-git-log-output-coding-system' allow to customize the encoding of
+the log messages sent to Git when committing, and the decoding of the
+log messages read from Git history commands. Both default to UTF-8;
+if you customize them, make sure they are consistent with the Git
+config variables i18n.commitEncoding and i18n.logOutputEncoding.
+(`vc-git-commits-coding-system' existed previously, but was a
+variable, not a user option.)
