Hi Mauro, all

I've got a couple of patches from authors with non-ASCII characters in 
their names. I'm sending this email on purpose from a utf-8 client to 
better demonstrait this. Here is a header of one of such _git_ patches:

<quote>

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] V4L/DVB mx1_camera: don't check platform_get_irq's return 
value against zero
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

platform_get_irq returns -ENXIO on failure, so !irq was probably
always true.  Better use (int)irq <= 0.  Note that a return value of
zero is still handled as error even though this could mean irq0.

This is a followup to 305b3228f9ff4d59f49e6d34a7034d44ee8ce2f0 that
changed the return value of platform_get_irq from 0 to -ENXIO on error.

As you see, the name in the header is converted to a string like

From: =?utf-8?q?Uwe=20Kleine-K=C3=B6nig?= <u.kleine-koe...@pengutronix.de>

but UTF-8 is preserved in Sob. Is this also how I shall commit such 
patches to hg or shall I do this somehow differently. Or shall I just wait 
with these patches until v4l switches to git...

Thanks
Guennadi
