Subject: encoding bug in git.el
Message-ID: <20080520220900.GA20570@diana.vm.bytemark.co.uk>

Recently, some commits started misrecording the "ö" in my name. (In
emacs, for example, it looks like this in a utf8 buffer:
Hasselstr\201\366m.) I'm guessing there's an extra latin1->utf8
conversion in there somewhere.

It turns out that the breakage occurs when I commit with the
git-status mode from git.el, and it was introduced by this commit:

  commit dbe48256b41c1e94d81f2458d7e84b1fdcb47026
  Author: Clifford Caoile <piyo@users.sourceforge.net>

      git.el: Set process-environment instead of invoking env

It's in master, but not yet in maint. (In fact, it's the _only_ change
to contrib/emacs that's in master but not in maint.)
