What about the steps in between? Is the text already garbled in the local repository? – nschum Dec 15 '11 at 19:07

VC does not know what particular backends use for character encodings (yes, that's a bug in VC for those backends which do specify that the encoding has to be utf-8), so it probably encoded your comment using your locale's favorite encoding (say big5) insead of using github's expected utf-8 (or so I guess).
