Hi,

if a commit message is further edited by "git commit --amend" after a patch
has been applied by "git-dpm apply-patch" (or with the --edit option), there are
problems if the encoding environment is e.g. UTF-8.
In this case, the generated patch header in master contains text like:

<cut>
Subject: =?UTF-8?q?fix=20docs=0A=20privacy=20breaches=20and=20minor=20flaw?=
 =?UTF-8?q?s,=20extlinks=20extension,=0A=20don't=20produce=20PDFs=0AForwar?=
 =?UTF-8?q?ded:=20no?=
 </cut>

Maybe this could be improved somehow?

BTW, great tool!

Thanks,
DS

Experienced locally but also found e.g. here:
https://sources.debian.net/src/python-django/1.7.10-1/debian/patches/02_disable-sources-in-sphinxdoc.diff/

"From:" is UTF-8.
