[Buildbot-devel] gitpoller UnicodeDecodeError exception

[Andriy Senkovych]

Hello, Amber, Rod,

Please check which version of master do you use. This was fixed in
master with these pull requests[1,2] two months ago. GitPoller now has
encoding parameter which defaults to utf8. Debian Sid packages of
0.8.3p1 have already this fix (I included it on behalf of the author).

If the fix doesn't work please let me know and reopen the bug[3]
