Because my terminal is latin1 for some reasons I cannot easily change.
FWIW, de_DE.UTF-8 gives the same errors; de_DE.UTF8 (without the hyphen)
results in (partially) German messages with all non-ascii chars replaced
as "?".

That's the wrapper I thought about (although I did not think about
aliases, thanks for that!).
In that case, commit messages with non-ascii chars will show "?" where
previously (with .ISO8859-1) the characters were correctly displayed.
-mp.
