That should work in general, but...

That's definitely not right.

I can't seem to reproduce it here with a simple test (neither with "René" in the author name, nor with an author name containing single-quote). What version of git are you using (it looks like a recent one, as it has the magic @-date syntax). Have you set i18n.commitencoding, or are otherwise using an encoding besides utf8? Is it possible to share the commits that trigger this bug?
