Subject: [PATCH/RFC] git-gui: Fix author name encoding in Amend Last Commit.
Message-ID: <20170214224631.18012-1-bernhardu@mailbox.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20170214224631.18012-1-bernhardu%40mailbox.org

```
From: Bernhard Übelacker <bernhardu@mailbox.org>

In "New Commit" author name is set correctly.
But when doing "Amend Last Commit" the encoding gets wrong.

This patch adds in load_last_commit a similar assignment converting
to tcl encoding for commit_author as already exists for msg.
