The following code is giving an unexpected argument error for the encoding argument:

subprocess.check_call(
        git_command + list(args),
        stderr=subprocess.DEVNULL,
        stdout=subprocess.DEVNULL,
        env=env,
        text=True,
        encoding="utf-8",
)

With error: Unexpected keyword argument "encoding" for "check_call" [call-arg].

However, the subprocess docs says that its signature is the same as the POpen constructor, which does accept encoding.
