If you look closely here, in the "git commit" output, you can see
that, as Pratyush indicated, it was actually "git commit" that dropped
the trailing apostrophe, and "git log" is simply presenting the
information as it exists in the repository.

If your goal is an accented "e", wouldn't it be better to set your
name using =C3=A9, rather than a trailing apostrophe? "git commit" would
likely preserve that without issue.

Best regards,
