That should be "Motiejus Jakštys", not the garbage line noise you have. Please make sure that *all* your tools are using proper UTF-8 and Unicode. When you do $ echo $LANG you should get something like "en_US.UTF-8". If you have something like "en_US.ISO-8859-1" you need to set your machine on fire, and throw it out the window from the 43rd floor. I can see the original at https://lore.kernel.org/all/20120315030631.GA28296@pierce/ and it has a proper UTF-8 encoding: From: =?UTF-8?q?Motiejus=20Jak=C5=A1tys?= <motiejus@xxxxxxxxxx> that you have broken somewhere in your toolchain. I have no idea where that breakage happened, but it looks like something treated '\xC5\xA1' as two Latin1 aka ISO-8859-1 characters, rather than as one UTF-8 encoded Unicode character. That something isn't "git", so it's probably some effed up script of yours, or the fact that you have some 16th century locale setting. Please fix whatever horrid breakage you have, and get with the 21st century. Latin1 and broken locales just aren't ok any more. You are mangling peoples names horribly. And yes, your email was marked as Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 but that's only the tip of the iceberg. The name is incorrect in your git branch. You really have some totally broken setup. Linus
