There seems to be a Windows-specific test failure: https://dev.azure.com/gitgitgadget/git/_build/results?buildId=11535&view=ms.vss-test-web.build-test-results-tab&runId=28232&resultId=101315&paneView=debug The output is this: -- snip -- not ok 5 - log --grep does not find non-reencoded values (latin1) expecting success: git log --encoding=ISO-8859-1 --format=%s --grep=$utf8_e >actual && test_must_be_empty actual ++ git log --encoding=ISO-8859-1 --format=%s --grep=é fatal: pcre2_match failed with error code -8: UTF-8 error: byte 2 top bits not 0x80 -- snap -- Any quick ideas?
