Hello, I'm having trouble with the following scenario: My name contains an é with accent. Having set git config --global user.name "René Haber" and several commits with that name in a project. Now I wanted to pull with --rebase, which fails with: git pull --rebase remote: Counting objects: 9, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. remote: Total 5 (delta 4), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (5/5), done. >From ____.de:repositories/kapa 173c610..18987db master -> origin/master First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... /sw/lib/git-core/git-am: line 675: Haber: command not found Patch does not have a valid e-mail address. The problem lies in .git/rebase-apply/author-script : GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Rene'́ Haber GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='rene@xxxxxxx' GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='@1330931169 +0100' where the accent ´ is on top of the apostrophe and an apostrophe is missing from the end of the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME line. This leads to the "Haber: command not found". As the author name is taken from the rebased commits changing the user.name in the .gitconfig is useless. The only way I found around this is changing my name to "Rene Haber" and first rewriting my local history up to the point of the rebase with that name. Thanks for your help.
