IIRC, HFS+ always stores and reports the file names with decomposed UTF-8, even if the file is created using composed UTF-8.

SVN has standardized on "UTF-8" in the repository, but had/s similar problems on OS X with the decomposed characters: http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2464 Tom -- 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
