[sorry, once again I have to sent it a second time, as vger rejected it;
thunderbird once again messed for some reason used
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" then it should have used 8bit; I tried

correctly when needed :-/ ]

Documentation/maintainer/configure-git.rst afaics -- which is the better
