Try any of the many threads on the topic, e.g., http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/70688 The short version is that this Ü is in fact decomposed into an U-umlaut duo. Considering that this leads to endless fun[*] not just with git, and that we German speakers have an easy way out (Ueberlaenge), I can only suggest that you avoid umlauts wherever possible to preserve the sanity of your users. [*] I once had an SVN repo with two different directories both called Übungen. Took me a while to figure out what was going on. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
