I don't recall the exact problem, and I can't find the mails anymore, the IIRC it was something about Content-type being generated from the original commit message, and only afterwards the sign-off line got added, or something like that. That causes the Content-type to say ascii, although the sign-off had UTF-8 in it. Or something like that. Might very well have been fixed since then (it was almost 2 years ago that I hit that bug IIRC), but it made me stick to commit -s ;-) Björn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
