git-webkit find doesn't work well with unicode characters in author name

python Tools/Scripts/git-webkit find r274645

Title: Nullptr crash in RenderStyle::shapeOutside()

Author name which git-webkit couldn't handle properly was: Frédéric Wang

[Aakash Jain]

Steps to reproduce (on python 2):

>>> u'Author: {}'.format('Fréd')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 2: ordinal not in range(128)

I can't reproduce this problem on trunk:

python Tools/Scripts/git-webkit find r274645
Title: Nullptr crash in RenderStyle::shapeOutside()
Author: Frédéric Wang <[e-mail]>
Date: Thu Mar 18 07:44:01 2021
Revision: 274645
Identifier: 235470@trunk

The issue is that there aren't any commits in the last week that could have fixed this problem

This issue still happening, probably for every commit by authors containing non-ascii characters in their name. e.g.:

Confused by my inability to reproduce, but a ? Seems better than blowing up.

Is there a plan for how to fix it for good, so that names are visible?

I am also unable to reproduce this. This works fine with the problematic commit on my local machine. I even tried on an ews machine which indicated this failure, and I wasn't able to reproduce.

This issue doesn't happen on Python 3. Also, we are not able to reproduce, so seems like some corner case which fails only in buildbot (and in buildbot we anyways hide this build-step, and only show the commit-identifier). 

So, people aren't likely to hit this problem on their machines. Automation doesn't show the author name anyways. We can prioritize the real fix if we notice this problem anywhere else, where it has any visible impact.

If no one is going to see this, it's better to say something like "cannot print the name, please file a bug if seeing this locally", not just "?".

Reopening to attach another patch.
