The bash Git for Windows uses (i.e. the MSys bash) cannot pass
command-line arguments with high bits set verbatim to non-MSys programs,
but instead converts those characters with high bits set to their hex
representation.
The description is not entirely correct...the Unicode-enabled MSYS.dll
expects the command line to be UTF-8. Only *invalid* UTF-8 is converted
to hex code for convenience. So its not the high bits that cause trouble,
but specifying 0x80 without proper UTF-8 lead byte.

I believe the last line of the test may actually work:

test "$(test-urlmatch-normalization -p "$(cat "$tu-11")")" = "x://q/%C2%80%DF%BF%E0%A0%80%EF%BF%BD%F0%90%80%80%F0%AF%BF%BD"

Can somebody send a tested replacement then?

Thanks.
