Well, that rather settles things, no?
There is need for the feature, but it's unfortunate that the Git developers do not see its value. There are many users for whom using non-ASCII names is necessary (for example all of Asia and most of Europe), but now it seems that Bazaar is the only DVCS that handles encodings correctly: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/829682/what-dvcs-support-unicode-filenames
Let's see if I have time later this or next year to work on it. At least it would be good practise in getting acquainted with a new codebase and learning C. But it would be better for someone else do it, to get it done within a reasonable amount of time.
I see that there are some tests in the /t directory. Which command will run all of them, how good coverage do the tests have, how reproducable and isolated they are, how many seconds does it take to run all the tests? Is there some high-level documentation for new developers?
