A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20). An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page, something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the shell without having those characters munged. One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line (including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously must fail.
