cargo tree character encoding problem

[alilleybrinker]

Problem

When running cargo tree (Cargo version 1.44.0) in Git Bash on Windows 10, I get output that looks like the following (snippet of actual output):

Γö£ΓöÇΓöÇ anyhow v1.0.30
Γö£ΓöÇΓöÇ chrono v0.4.11
Γöé   Γö£ΓöÇΓöÇ num-integer v0.1.42
Γöé   Γöé   ΓööΓöÇΓöÇ num-traits v0.2.11
Γöé   Γöé       [build-dependencies]
Γöé   Γöé       ΓööΓöÇΓöÇ autocfg v1.0.0
Γöé   Γöé   [build-dependencies]
Γöé   Γöé   ΓööΓöÇΓöÇ autocfg v1.0.0
Γöé   Γö£ΓöÇΓöÇ num-traits v0.2.11 (*)
Γöé   Γö£ΓöÇΓöÇ serde v1.0.110

Steps

1. Open Git Bash on Windows 10
2. Navigate to Rust crate
3. Run cargo tree

Possible Solution(s)

It certainly looks like a character encoding issue but I don't know enough to say more than that.

Notes

Output of cargo version: cargo 1.44.0 (05d080faa 2020-05-06)
Output of rustc --version: rustc 1.44.0 (49cae5576 2020-06-01)
Git Bash MinTTY version: 3.1.6 (x86_64-pc-msys)

This seems to be a recent regression in MinTTY. See git-for-windows/git#2648 and msys2/MSYS2-packages#1974. It looks like there might be some workarounds noted in those issues, or you can run cargo tree --charset=ascii for now.

Huh. Thanks for the explanation and workaround!

Seems that there is a work-around: cmd //c chcp 65001, but I think we have a good grasp on msys2/MSYS2-packages#1974 and once that is resolved, this here bug will be fixed, too.
