Another user reported the same problem in cygwin on a Korean Windows. The byte sequences are illegal there too. A number of solution could be concieved, like converting to the local encoding first, but that cannot be done beacuase I couldn't find any non-ascii characters that would be convertible into any (major) locale. Another is to ignore the test if these files cannot be created. -- robin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
