[PATCH] Do not lose author name information to locale gotchas.

[PATCH] Do not lose author name information to locale gotchas.

[Junio C Hamano]

I noticed format-patch loses authorship information of Lukas' patch
when I run git tools with LC_LANG set to ja_JP.  It turns out that
the sed script to set environment variables were not working on his
name (encoded in UTF-8), which is unfortunate but technically correct.

Force sed invocation under C locale because we always want literal byte
semantics.

 * I might have screwed up people's names already without
   noticing; if that happened to you, please forgive me.  I
   think this patch fixes all the problematic places...
