Weblate bash UTF8 broken

When doing a git log -p on the weblate VM as user weblate I get broken UTF-8 output.
When doing the same on my computer, things work out correctly, thus I suspect a problem on the VM.
I think it would be useful to fix this because we will be using scripts to verify that po files are indeed in UTF-8 and we want to be able to let a human confirm things if this is not the case. Hence my request to please make it work?
