    # This threshold is carefully tweaked to prevent usage of encodings detected
    # by CharlockHolmes with low confidence. If CharlockHolmes confidence is low,
    # we're better off sticking with utf8 encoding.
    # Reason: git diff can return strings with invalid utf8 byte sequences if it
    # truncates a diff in the middle of a multibyte character. In this case
    # CharlockHolmes will try to guess the encoding and will likely suggest an
    # obscure encoding with low confidence.
