broken text encoding in commit author name

broken text encoding in commit author name

[Michał Walenciak]

Hi

since git 2.12 I'm having random problems with broken text enciding in author 
name.

As an example broken commit:
Author: Michał Walenciak <Kicer86@gmail.com>  2017-04-07 21:38:23
Committer: Michał Walenciak <Kicer86@gmail.com>  2017-04-07 21:38:33

good commit: 
Author: Michał Walenciak <Kicer86@gmail.com>  2017-04-08 21:21:15
Committer: Michał Walenciak <Kicer86@gmail.com>  2017-04-08 21:21:15

Broken commits are quite rare and I cannot find any rule when they happen.
Git 2.12.2 here, Arch linux.

regards

For what it`s worth, looking at the timestamp of the broken commit 
example you`ve shown, could the problem be related to amending commits?

If so, are you amending through the command line, or maybe using some 
tool (like "git-gui")...?

There was a similar discussion recently[1], not sure if it`s related 
to your case.

Hi,

yes indeed, that's the case. Amend from gui ruins my commits :)
