In order to reproduce the error, I need to know which is the repository that you are analyzing.

The Invalid utf8 character string: '800228' warning happens when analyzing CVSAnalY's repository.

In DBTempLog.py, both INSERT statements on table _temp_log may need the keyword "_binary" before the third placeholder inside "values".

For example, current statement: "INSERT into _temp_log (rev, date, object) values (?, ?, ?)"

May need to be changed to: "INSERT into _temp_log (rev, date, object) values (?, ?, _binary ?)"

I made the change in both INSERT statements and I don't see the error message anymore. Not sure if this is the best way to solve this.

I got this from here: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=79317

Cheers.
