Instead of dying in convert_to_utf8(), just report an error and let the callers handle it. Between the two callers: - decode_header() silently punts when it cannot parse a broken RFC2047 encoded text (e.g. when it sees anything other than B or Q after it sees "=?<charset>") by jumping to release_return, returning the string it successfully parsed out so far, to the caller. A piece of string that convert_to_utf8() cannot handle can be treated the same way. - handle_commit_msg() doesn't cope with a malformed line well, so die there for now. We'll lift this even higher in later changes in this series.
