Hi, There are problems on MacOSX with different UTF8 encodings of filenames. A unicode string has multiple ways to be represented as UTF8 and Git treats them as different filenames. This is the actual bug. It should treat them all as the same filename. In some cases (as on MacOSX), the underlying operating system may use a normalized UTF8 representation in some sort, i.e. change the actual UTF8 filename representation. Similar problems also exists in SVN, for example. This was reported [here](http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2464). There you can find also lengthy discussions about the topic. And also [here](http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/unicode-composition-for-filenames). This was already reported for Git earlier and there is also a patch for Git [here](http://lists-archives.org/git/719832-git-mac-os-x-and-german-special-characters.html). I wonder about the state of this. This hasn't been applied yet. Why?
