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.

Cancel... This was my script that changed ownership back to the user in the home directory.

I think this sounds like good news; what is libiconv-utf8mac ? Something you compiled ? Anything you want to share with us ?

You can find libiconv-utf8mac at https://github.com/fumiyas/libiconv-utf8mac.
