Cyrillic VC Git commit messages

[Nikolay Kudryavtsev]

Hi all.

Sometimes I work with projects that have Russian commit messages in the 
git log.

I've found a way to make them work, but it's kind of counter-intuitive. 
First you set
(setq vc-git-commits-coding-system 'windows-1251))
And then in .gitconfig:
[i18n]
logoutputencoding = windows-1251

This works fine inside of emacs, but totally breaks git log in windows 
cmd. For some reason git always expects windows-1251(system default) for 
input, but outputs windows-1252 to cmd.exe and utf-8 to emacs.

So, did I miss something?  Is there another way?
