StGIT errors out on rebasing patch which deletes file with Unicode characters in filename (with characters outside US-ASCII in filename). The patch in question is patch deleting gitweb/test/* in git directory, and is present already on the 'origin' branch (the branch we rebase onto), so stg-rebase should result in an empty patch (as first patch).

 "gitweb/test/M\303\244rchen" |    2 --
 gitweb/test/file with spaces |    4 ----
 gitweb/test/file+plus+sign   |    6 ------
 3 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)
 delete mode 100644 gitweb/test/Märchen
 delete mode 100644 gitweb/test/file with spaces
 delete mode 100644 gitweb/test/file+plus+sign
I guess the error is caused by using unescaped (quoted) filename.
Below is StGIT's error message:
