Errors testing on macOS High Sierra version 10.13.4

Errors testing on macOS High Sierra version 10.13.4

[Wink Saville]

I built git on a mac osx laptop and got some errors when testing.
I ran ./ci/run-build-and-tests.sh and three of the tests had failures
that appear to be associated with character encoding:
...
    BUILTIN git-whatchanged
    SUBDIR git-gui
    SUBDIR gitk-git
    SUBDIR templates

And here is one of the errors from t0204:

#

1..8


Of course on travis-ci there are no failures so I dug deeper and found
that travis-ci is running 10.12.6 (I added a call to system_profier in
ci/run-build-and-tests.sh) where as I'm running is 10.13.4:

+system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType
Software:
    System Software Overview:
      System Version: macOS 10.12.6 (16G29)
      Kernel Version: Darwin 16.7.0
      Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
      Boot Mode: Normal
      Computer Name: Travis’s Mac (294)
      User Name: Travis (travis)
      Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
      System Integrity Protection: Enabled
      Time since boot: 5 minutes

Not sure, but maybe I've got something configured incorrectly.

Suggestions anyone?

I'm still on 10.12.6 and I don't plan on upgrading, so you may need to
dig into this yourself.

Try narrowing down the problem to the exact command within the test
which is failing or giving unexpected results. From there, it may be
possible to identify some difference between 10.12.6 and 10.13.4 or
between something in your current configuration and that on Travis or
elsewhere.

OK
