KAFKA-2384; Encode/decode to utf-8 for commit title IO in kafka-merge-pr.py This fix should be fine for Linux and OS X. Not sure about Windows though. This is a very specific fix for new functionality added in KAFKA-2384. There are other places where a similar error could occur, but are less likely. The script doesn't handle Unicode input properly in general.
