I get an error when I try to submit my code to gerrit using gitbash on windows. The error is as below:
$ git review
You are about to submit multiple commits. This is expected if you are
submitting a commit that is dependent on one or more in-review
commits. Otherwise you should consider squashing your changes into one
commit before submitting.
Traceback (most recent call last):

The process aborts post the error message. Also the git-review version is as below:
$ git review --version
git-review-script.py version 1.24
Also the git version on my windows machine is:
git version 1.9.4.msysgit.1
I badly need help or any clue on how to get this working.
The character encoding showing on my cmd.exe is 850
Try to install Python 2.7.* and launch git review with it. I also had problems with running git-review on Python 3.* although authors claim that it is supported.
By investigating your problem in detail I noticed that the problem is with \u2026 character (that is horizontal ellipsis - …). Python is known to have problems with decoding it.
As a temporary fix, please reword your commit messages not to contain problematic characters (replace … with three dots).
You may also use command git review -y to skip displaying the confirmation (thus the error message too).
I have created a bug report for git-review.
