invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError)

Description

colorls has problem in a specific directory.
Its not very obvious, but i guess its some git problem, since the file listing is fine and the error raises, when i use --gs.

Here is the full error message:

17: from /usr/local/bin/colorls:23:in `<main>'

/usr/lib/ruby/2.5.0/pathname.rb:43:in `=~': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError)

Nevertheless even if there is a problem with one specific file, whatever it may be, colorls should never fail to at least display the files and may have a missing git status icon, when there is an error.

Im not sure what i might do to get further info on whats happening here?
But maybe the error line is enough to see whats broken.

Well, I think we should handle that gracefully. I think #353 should take care of that.
