At some point between v5.6 and 5.8 Perl started to assume its input,

output and filehandles are UTF-8. This breaks the counting of bytes

for the CVS protocol, resulting in the client expecting less data

than we actually send, and storing truncated files.

This has gone unfixed for quite a while. I thought I had seen

a patch posted addressing it, but it may have been for something else.
In fact, our heavily patched gitweb.cgi has needed a similar patch

as well. Snapshot downloads were getting corrupted until we added

use bytes; there too. I'm not sure how current gitweb does it though...
