I cannot understand why you want to do such a complicated way.
"Repository copy" is much more easier, I think.

Japanese users use eucJP, SJIS and ISO2022-JP at the same time.
Because most of Japanese utility automaticaly convert the encodings.
# For example, mule (Multilingual Emacs) can display eucJP, SJIS,
#and ISO2022-JP encoding document at the same time on the same window.
