I'm running git 1.7.9.2 from Fink Project on MacOS X 10.6.
The gitconfig in hex is attached.

Hmm, looks like pretty standard utf8:

  0000020: 6d65 203d 2052 656e c3a9 2048 6162 6572  me = Ren.. Haber

and the same thing I used in my tests. I tried repeating the test with
v1.7.9.2 on OS X (although my test box is 10.7), and couldn't replicate
it.

Can you show us the commit that causes the problem, as printed by "git
cat-file commit $commit | xxd"? I just want to double-check that there
are no odd bytes there.

Also, what happens if you do:

  sh -c '
    . /sw/lib/git-core/git-sh-setup
     get_author_ident_from_commit $commit
  '

(my theory is that this is the underlying problem in the rebase, and
should show the bug; by narrowing it down, it should make testing a lot
simpler).

Hmmm... one place where I have read about this strange "René" -> "Rene'"
conversion is when terminal (console) cannot display unicode, and tries
to show it using ASCII:

But it should not matter if we are writing to file, isn't it?
