Thanks.

Reading #23076, it is not clear to me why you implemented both: encoding
command line arguments using the system code page, and passing the
commit message through a file.

Your message to the bug first proposing these fixes suggests choosing
between them.  But we have both.  Can you explain?

Another question would be: do we need both for Mercurial, or is passing
the commit message via a file sufficient?
