Hi, I have been using git (version 1.7.1) for quite some time to backup/synchronize folders between my two linux workstations at home and at work and my Apple laptop. Synchronization works well except for some strange behavior under Mac OS X (10.6). I have commited some files with German special characters, say, "Übersicht.xls" under linux and pulled them on the Macbook. However, on the laptop git status says: # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # "U\314\210bersicht.xls" nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) I have been searching the web for help and found lengthy discussions which state that this is a common problem of the HFS+ filesystem. What I did not find was a solution to this problem. Is there a solution to this problem?
