+    Align git-review and python -m git_review.cmd behaviors
+    
+    Currently, python -m git_review.cmd wraps git_review.cmd.main call to
+    handle correctly unicode in python2 where git-review calls directly
+    git_review.cmd.main. This change embeds the wrapper inside main in
+    order to align git-review and python -m git_review.cmd behaviors.
+
