That is contrary to the design of Git which honors content (byte-wise!) as much as possible, and treats file names very much as content. There were beginnings of supporting OSX' brain-damaged filename mangling, but an obnoxious OSX fan worked very hard on trying to defend the OSX design and to decry Git's respect for the raw bytes on this list, so hard that even the nicest developers had no fun working on this issue anymore. This little background may help you understand why there is no solution implemented in Git yet. And maybe quite a few developers are reluctant to discuss the issue and possible solutions due to said sad story, too.
