Repository has non-UTF8 names, creating issues with certain file systems

I know it’s not, strictly speaking, a bug, but it is common in ZFS
installations to set utf8only=on to enforce that all file names are
strictly UTF-8, and this causes an issue when trying to clone the Git
repository for texinfo on a ZFS system with that feature enabled:

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/texinfo.git      
Cloning into 'texinfo'...

remote: Compressing objects: 100% (31556/31556), done.

error: unable to create file tp/tests/included_lat�n1.texi: Invalid or
incomplete multibyte or wide character

I’m not sure for what purpose the file is in the repository, but it
might be worth considering writing out non-UTF8 tests dynamically at
build or runtime provided that the host operating system supports such
names.
