I've filed https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-12580 about this issue. I'm not sure what the precise issue is here, but I think this is a good disclaimer for now. @swift-ci please smoke test and merge |

Add a note to the README that
update-checkoutdoes not support non-ASCII characters in the path toswift-source.I'm in the process of trying to build the Swift project for the first time and
update-checkoutfailed on an error similar to the one described here. @owenv's reply mentions that the problem might be with non-ASCII paths, which turned out to be the problem – I had a folder namedPráce(Work) in the path.This is probably a non-issue for folks with English as their primary language, but it might help others.
