Hmph, but back in v2.20 days, you did have IME?

In any case, if I were in such a situation to need my name spelled differently depending on the project I work on, I would probably use

	$ git config --global user.name <simplified-name>
	$ cd <repository of git>
	$ git config user.name <name-with-accents>

or the other way around (depends on which projects your focus is on).

But perhaps that is not so useful to your situation?
