I think this could be tested fairly easily by hijacking _run_editor to 
insert non-encoding safe characters into the output file. It could 
probably force the encoding to UTF-8, and then run, and insert \xff into 
the text.

This could also be reasonably done inside edit_commit_message* rather 
than being done in the commands/builtins code. Which would make it a bit 
easier to test.
