Hi! I an trying to get diffs using GitPython, and i have an issue when branch name have unicode characters.

Here is repo where bug can be reproduced:

repo = git.Repo('.')
HEAD = repo.head.commit

i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\test.py", line 4, in <module>
    HEAD = repo.head.commit
  File "C:\Users\kushukov\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\git\refs\symbolic.py", line 200, in _get_commit
    obj = self._get_object()
  File "C:\Users\kushukov\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\git\refs\symbolic.py", line 193, in _get_object
    return Object.new_from_sha(self.repo, hex_to_bin(self.dereference_recursive(self.repo, self.path)))
  File "C:\Users\kushukov\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\git\refs\symbolic.py", line 135, in dereference_recursive
