This was well before my time, and the only people I remember messing 
with these variables anywhere in VC ever since are you (for 
Windows-related fixes) and Michael. So this might require some digging 
with vc-annotate.

Also note that this affects two commands: one that returns the file 
name, and another, its contents. I'm not sure what encoding 'git 
cat-file blob' outputs in.

The adverse effect sounds like a separate bug.
