git shouldn't tag the files if the iconv fails (i.e. if the file isn't converted) #175

Description

@HarithaIBM

Cloning of a git repo with files that has to be autoconverted to IBM-1047 fails with error:

error: failed to encode 'buckets/sdb/v2s40/plxsrc/plx00314.plx' from UTF-8 to ibm-1047

So issue mentioned is:

the file hasn't been converted, but the tag does seem to have been changed. So now I have a file that has an IBM-1047 tag, but is really UTF-8, so when I open it in vim, I see gibberish.

So suggested fix is : avoid setting the tag in the case of an error
