I'm getting errors from 'git repack -Ad' with this version on Windows XP:

$ /bin/git repack -Ad Counting objects: 147960, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (35552/35552), done. Writing objects: 100% (147960/147960), done.

A bisection pointed me to this commit (https://github.com/msysgit/git/commit/19d1e75):

 "Win32: Unicode file name support (except dirent)"

When I reset "/git" to this commit and recompile, 'git gc' and 'git repack -Ad' don't raise this error anymore.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
  Stefan
