error: stream did not contain valid UTF-8

[dten]

I narrowed this down to having any files in

.hg/store/data that end with .d they appear when I commit a binary of a zip or anything large to my repo

Shouldn't .git and .hg folders be ignored by default? or just not explode on binaries that it thinks is D source maybe

From the help message:

    -e, --exclude <paths>...    Files or directories to exclude (automatically includes '.git')
        --utf8-rule <rule>      Sets the UTF-8 parsing rule (Defaults to 'strict')
                                 [values: ignore lossy strict]

Is this error when using --utf8-rule=ignore?

Also, .git should be ignored by default, .hg is not ignored by default however
