### Please describe the problem.
When using `--incremental` together with `git annex fsck`, the error
message "hPutChar: invalid argument (invalid character)" appears in the
"Only X of Y trustworthy copies exist" message when the filename
contains an UTF-8 character above U+007F. The only locale in which this
doesn't happen is "C.UTF-8".
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Create and add a file with an UTF-8 character in the file name above U+007F to git-annex
- Set `numcopies` high enough so `git annex fsck` will produce a warning about missing copies
- Execute `git annex fsck --incremental`
I've created two test scripts on
<https://gist.github.com/sunny256/ebf4d055f5500b257ed8> that demonstrate
this error:
- `git clone https://gist.github.com/ebf4d055f5500b257ed8.git`
- `cd ebf4d055f5500b257ed8`
- `./runme`
You can specify a locale to `runme` as `$1` to experiment with different
locales.
There's also a `test-all-locales` script that executes `./runme` with
all defined locales on the computer. Both scripts return 1 if the error
message appears, if it's gone, 0 is returned.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
Newest git-annex amd64 (5.20150812) from `downloads.kitenet.net`.
### Please provide any additional information below.
The `runme` script contains more information about this issue.

Here are two excerpts of the test output using the "C" and
"C.UTF-8" locale:
