Support for additional file encoding
GitKraken Git GUI only supports UTF-8 file encoding. Files may display in an unexpected way or be marked a binary if files are not encoded in UTF-8.
As a user, I want GitKraken to support different encoding like ISO-8859-1 and others.

PittyI have a lot of code in Delphi XE2 and if I merge any conflicted file in GitKraken, or even use the Beyond Compare called from GitKraken, the files are converted to UTF-8. Delphi doesn't work fine with UTF-8. It's very very annoying. Why GitKraken cannot simply maintain the encoding?

Alexander SamsigOn a project at work, some files are using ISO-8859-1, and it makes it almost impossible for me to be productive while using GitKraken, as I'll regularly rewrite files into UTF-8 without noticing until I open a pull request, and then I have to go back and fix it up, which is very demotivating.
This is also the first con I bring up when talking about GitKraken, other than this GitKraken is by far the most productive Git client I've used, and I'd love to be able to strike this con off the list. -

CédricAs a French speaking developer, I have a lot of code using special characters that are encoded in ISO-8859-1.
I have to admit that it is a pain to have to rewrite often the whole translations file or comments in the code to make it still usable. Some message displayed for the user are defined in the code in French directly.
Some dev doesn't want to work with GitKraken due to this only, and I have a hard time to say something against that. -

Pedro NascimentoSeveral legacy projects I work on are ISO-8859-1, so I can't merge using gitkraken without breaking the code where there are special characters
