Hi Everyone,
Git 2.26.2 passes its self tests on OS X using libiconv-utf8mac.
It looks like one issue remains during make install:
        for p in $remote_curl_aliases; do \
                rm -f "$execdir/$p" && \
                test -n "" && \
                ln -s "git-remote-http" "$execdir/$p" || \
                { test -z "" && \
                  ln "$execdir/git-remote-http" "$execdir/$p" 2>/dev/null || \
                  ln -s "git-remote-http" "$execdir/$p" 2>/dev/null || \
                  cp "$execdir/git-remote-http" "$execdir/$p" || exit; } \
        done && \
        ./check_bindir "z$bindir" "z$execdir" "$bindir/git-add"
usage:  chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | +a | =a  [i][# [ n]]]
mode|entry file ...
        chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-E | -C | -N | -i | -I] file ...
And on Ubuntu 18.04:
for p in $remote_curl_aliases; do \
        rm -f "$execdir/$p" && \
        test -n "" && \
        ln -s "git-remote-http" "$execdir/$p" || \
        { test -z "" && \
          ln "$execdir/git-remote-http" "$execdir/$p" 2>/dev/null || \
          ln -s "git-remote-http" "$execdir/$p" 2>/dev/null || \
          cp "$execdir/git-remote-http" "$execdir/$p" || exit; } \
done && \
./check_bindir "z$bindir" "z$execdir" "$bindir/git-add"
chmod: missing operand after ‘a+rwx’
Try 'chmod --help' for more information.

make install stops after the messages. I'm not sure if there is more to install at this point.
