See comment for analysis.
At first I thought I'd need to convert all T.unpack in git-annex, but
luckily not -- so long as the Text is read from a file, the filesystem
encoding is applied and T.unpack is fine. It's only when using Feed
that the filesystem encoding is not applied.
While this fixes the crash, it does result in some mojibake, eg:
itemid=http://www.manager-tools.com/2014/01/choosing-a-company-work-chapter-7-���-questions/
Have not tracked that down, but it must be unrelated, because
I've verified that it roundtrips when using encodeUf8:
joey@darkstar:~/src/git-annex>LANG=C ghci Utility/FileSystemEncoding.hs
ghci> useFileSystemEncoding
ghci> Just f <- Text.Feed.Import.parseFeedFromFile "/home/joey/tmp/career_tools_podcasts.xml"
ghci> Just (_, x) = Text.Feed.Query.getItemId (Text.Feed.Query.feedItems f !! 0)
ghci> decodeBS (Data.Text.Encoding.encodeUtf8 x)
"http://www.manager-tools.com/2014/01/choosing-a-company-work-chapter-7-\56546\56448\56467-questions/"
ghci> writeFile "foo" $ decodeBS (Data.Text.Encoding.encodeUtf8 x)
Writes a file containing the ENDASH character.

git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file
contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when
dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due
to limitations in memory, checksumming time, or disk space.
