Error 500 and invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 in ref.rb:24:in `split'

Created by: athornz

I've recently setup gitlab, and quite a number of my existing repositories give a 500 error when trying to view the project in gitlab, and when I run a gitlab:check, it fails with the error invalid byte sequence in UTF-8.

Here is the output of gitlab:env:info (urls removed):

I haven't been able to find any relevant info by googling the error.
