while at it, userformats have the same problem:

That is, git show correctly reencodes its output for b71a8eb, but only without --format=...

(The patches above are in linux-next.)

And now take this (assuming locale and commitencoding are utf-8):

	git init
	git config user.name 'Jöhännës Dschö'
	echo spam > ham
	git add ham
	git commit -m 'initial commit'
	git branch branch
	echo more spam > ham
	git add ham
	git commit -m "Commitlog matching '\nencoding:'

encoding: latin1
"
	git checkout branch
	echo much more spam > ham
	git add ham
	git commit -C master
	git show | grep Author:
