I can only answer for git, and I found the following in the commit message:
============
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".

The user needs to activate this feature manually.
==========
So git is backwards compatible with older version of git, as log as
core.precomposeunicode is false (or not set at all)
