The `*A()` family of Win32 API functions disagree with Git in one very
interesting aspect: Git always assumes UTF-8, while e.g. `CreateFileA()`
will use the current Win32 locale to internally transform to wide
characters and then call `CreateFileW()`.
This poses no problem when your locale is US American and your paths
contain no non-ASCII characters.
In the Git for Windows bug tracker, it was reported that it _does_ cause
problems when venturing outside such a cozy scenario (for full details,
see https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3262)
I need this (and merged it before starting the process to release Git for
Windows v2.32.0(2)) to fix that (could I ask you to integrate this in case
a re-roll will become necessary?):

Subject: [PATCH] fixup! fsmonitor-fs-listen-win32: implement FSMonitor backend
on Windows
Let's keep avoiding the `*A()` family of Win32 API functions because
they are susceptible to incoherent encoding problems. In Git for
Windows, we always assume paths to be UTF-8 encoded. Let's use the
dedicated helper to convert such a path to the wide character version,
and then use the `*W()` function instead.
