The problem is that git reports it as untracked. Михаил, is this the whole output or do you also see a differently-escaped version of the filename under tracked files? Does this problem not show up if you use 'git add -A' or 'git add .' instead of typing the name? If so, this happens because HFS+ stores and reports names differently than the way we told it to store it, so git sees a different set of bytes than what it's expecting and considers it a different file. With a recent version of git, you can set the core.precomposeunicode config setting to true, which deals with this situation. This tells git to transform the data it gets from the filesystem to the format that everyone else uses, which helps not only this, but also the 'git add .' case, so git stores the filename in the format the same way that other OSs expect to find. cmn -- 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
