Even if I were in a better mood, the whole thread has a back story on an msysGit issue, and this led me to try to stop what I feared would become a rather long mail thread without much of an outcome, such as that infamous thread about MacOSX UTF-8 filename handling. Alas, it seems that Robin is willing to work on the issues, so my fears have been totally and completely unfounded.
