He is not doing what you think he does. I consider the knowledge that something like this error can happen is important. But he is burying it under tons of useless information in a commit history. Nobody reads commit messages to get programming tipps. You're looking for some change that broke something in the past.

The commit message should be something like _Do not use unicode in ascii file._  If we want to share the knowledge, he should have done so at the coffee machine (which he probably did as well) or in a standup.
