make-deb fails if the latest_git_commit contains unicode

[jobevers]

If the latest git commit message has unicode in it, this line https://github.com/nylas/make-deb/blob/master/make_deb/__init__.py#L95 will throw a UnicodeDecode error.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing a problem when using git master. I did a commit with a Unicode snowman (U+2603) in the commit message:

[marca@marca-mac2 smbot2]$ git log -1 --oneline
84a40df Add ☃

[marca@marca-mac2 smbot2]$ rm -rf debian; make-deb && cat debian/rules
'debian' directory successfully placed at the root of your repository
#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
    dh $@ --with python-virtualenv%

Am I not doing the right thing to reproduce the issue?

Or maybe the issue has already been fixed?

It looks like 662c6aa fixed this issue. However, that code causes the program to fail on Python 3:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/marca/dev/git-repos/make-deb/bin/make-deb", line 8, in <module>
    reload(sys)

OK, I reproduced it by removing 662c6aa, which worked around the problem.

I like #14 better. I would vote for reverting 662c6aa and merging #14.

Thanks for digging into that.
