That tag looks normal in the email, but it's actually nastily encoded.
When I fetched it, I did this:

     git cat-file tag FETCH_HEAD | hexdump -c

and it shows

...

Note how the "spaces" between "Microblaze", "patches", "for" and "6.2"
are not actually regular space characters, but \xc2\a0, which is utf-8
encoding for unicode character A0 ("no-break space").

Please don't do that.  I have my editor show odd characters as hex
codes (I don't want any hidden information), which is why I noticed,
and I'm not sure why/how you did it.
