Re: Bug: rebase when an author uses accents in name on MacOSx

I still think the best solution is figuring out if the platform sed is sane at build time and using a full path (via config setup if being able to change the sed used is a priority).  Short of that something as simple as

(git-am:699+)

   if test -z "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL"
   then
           # Can occur when sed in PATH will not handle UTF8 under LC_ALL=C.
           gettextln "Patch does not have a valid e-mail address."
           stop_here $this
   fi

That is a real fix to the issue (can also happen to name, no?) and
is worth checking.
