man 1p printf:
In addition to the escape sequences shown in the Base Definitions
volume of POSIX.1‐2008, Chapter 5, File Format Notation ('\\',
'\a', '\b', '\f', '\n', '\r', '\t', '\v'), "\ddd", where ddd is a
one, two, or three-digit octal number, shall be written as a byte
with the numeric value specified by the octal number.
printf '\xfe\xff' is an extension of some shell.
Dash, a popular yet simple shell, do not implement this extension.
This wasn't caught by most people running the tests, even though
common shells like dash don't handle hex escapes, because their
systems don't trigger the NO_UTF16_BOM prereq. But systems with musl
libc do; when combined with dash, the test fails.
Correct it.

After I discovered that UTF-16-LE-BOM test was buggy, I decided that
better tests are required. Possibly the best option here is to compare
git results against hardcoded ground truth.
The new tests also cover more interesting chars where (ANSI != UTF-8).

According to its name, the test is designed for UTF-16-LE-BOM.
However, possibly due to copy&paste oversight, it was using UTF-32.
While the test succeeds (extra \000\000 are interpreted as NUL),
I myself had an unrelated problem which caused the test to fail.
When analyzing the failure I was quite puzzled by the fact that the
test is obviously buggy. And it seems that I'm not alone:

Fix the test to follow its original intention.

* kd/t0028-octal-del-is-377-not-777:
t0028: fix wrong octal values for BOM in setup
|

When serializing UTF-16 (and UTF-32), there are three possible ways to
write the stream. One can write the data with a BOM in either big-endian
or little-endian format, or one can write the data without a BOM in
big-endian format.
Most systems' iconv implementations choose to write it with a BOM in
some endianness, since this is the most foolproof, and it is resistant
to misinterpretation on Windows, where UTF-16 and the little-endian
serialization are very common. For compatibility with Windows and to
avoid accidental misuse there, Git always wants to write UTF-16 with a
BOM, and will refuse to read UTF-16 without it.
However, musl's iconv implementation writes UTF-16 without a BOM,
relying on the user to interpret it as big-endian. This causes t0028 and
the related functionality to fail, since Git won't read the file without
a BOM.
Add a Makefile and #define knob, ICONV_OMITS_BOM, that can be set if the
iconv implementation has this behavior. When set, Git will write a BOM
manually for UTF-16 and UTF-32 and then force the data to be written in
UTF-16BE or UTF-32BE. We choose big-endian behavior here because the
tests use the raw "UTF-16" encoding, which will be big-endian when the
implementation requires this knob to be set.
Update the tests to detect this case and write test data with an added
BOM if necessary. Always write the BOM in the tests in big-endian
format, since all iconv implementations that omit a BOM must use
big-endian serialization according to the Unicode standard.
Preserve the existing behavior for systems which do not have this knob
enabled, since they may use optimized implementations, including
defaulting to the native endianness, which may improve performance.

The setup code uses octal values with printf to generate a BOM for
UTF-16/32 BE/LE. It specifically uses '\777' to emit a 0xff byte. This
relies on the fact that most shells truncate the value above 0o377.
Ash however interprets '\777' as '\77' + a literal '7', resulting in an
invalid BOM.
Fix this by using the proper value of 0xff: '\377'.

Users who want UTF-16 files in the working tree set the .gitattributes
like this:
test.txt working-tree-encoding=UTF-16
The unicode standard itself defines 3 allowed ways how to encode UTF-16.
The following 3 versions convert all back to 'g' 'i' 't' in UTF-8:
a) UTF-16, without BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
b) UTF-16, with BOM, little endian:
$ printf "\377\376g\000i\000t\000" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
c) UTF-16, with BOM, big endian:
$ printf "\376\377\000g\000i\000t" | iconv -f UTF-16 -t UTF-8 | od -c
0000000 g i t
Git uses libiconv to convert from UTF-8 in the index into ITF-16 in the
working tree.
After a checkout, the resulting file has a BOM and is encoded in "UTF-16",
in the version (c) above.
This is what iconv generates, more details follow below.
iconv (and libiconv) can generate UTF-16, UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE:
d) UTF-16
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16 | od -c
0000000 376 377 \0 g \0 i \0 t
e) UTF-16LE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16LE | od -c
0000000 g \0 i \0 t \0
f) UTF-16BE
$ printf 'git' | iconv -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16BE | od -c
0000000 \0 g \0 i \0 t
There is no way to generate version (b) from above in a Git working tree,
but that is what some applications need.
(All fully unicode aware applications should be able to read all 3 variants,
but in practise we are not there yet).
When producing UTF-16 as an output, iconv generates the big endian version
with a BOM. (big endian is probably chosen for historical reasons).
iconv can produce UTF-16 files with little endianess by using "UTF-16LE"
as encoding, and that file does not have a BOM.
Not all users (especially under Windows) are happy with this.
Some tools are not fully unicode aware and can only handle version (b).
Today there is no way to produce version (b) with iconv (or libiconv).
Looking into the history of iconv, it seems as if version (c) will
be used in all future iconv versions (for compatibility reasons).
Solve this dilemma and introduce a Git-specific "UTF-16LE-BOM".
libiconv can not handle the encoding, so Git pick it up, handles the BOM
and uses libiconv to convert the rest of the stream.
(UTF-16BE-BOM is added for consistency)

The iconv that comes with a FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2 box I have access
to doesn't support the SHIFT-JIS encoding. Guard a test added in
e92d62253 ("convert: add round trip check based on
'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'", 2018-04-15) first released with Git
v2.18.0 with a prerequisite that checks for its availability.
The iconv command is in POSIX, and we have numerous tests
unconditionally relying on its ability to convert ASCII, UTF-8 and
UTF-16, but unconditionally relying on the presence of more obscure
encodings isn't portable.

UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between
UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be
a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings
(e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1].
Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated
list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the
conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute.
Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.

Git recognizes files encoded with ASCII or one of its supersets (e.g.
UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1) as text files. All other encodings are usually
interpreted as binary and consequently built-in Git text processing
tools (e.g. 'git diff') as well as most Git web front ends do not
visualize the content.
Add an attribute to tell Git what encoding the user has defined for a
given file. If the content is added to the index, then Git reencodes
the content to a canonical UTF-8 representation. On checkout Git will
reverse this operation.
