From: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@xxxxxx> Add a test case for this bug report, slightly edited and shortened: ls-files path' fails if absolute path of workdir contains NFD (macOS) On macOS, 'git ls-files path' does not work (gives an error) if the absolute 'path' contains characters in NFD (decomposed). I guess this is a (minor) bug of git. $ cd /somewhere # some safe place, /tmp or ~/tmp etc. $ mkdir $'u\xcc\x88' # ü in NFD $ cd ü # or cd $'u\xcc\x88' or cd $'\xc3\xbc' $ git init $ git ls-files $'/somewhere/u\xcc\x88' # NFD fatal: /somewhere/ü: '/somewhere/ü' is outside repository at '/somewhere/ü' $ git ls-files $'/somewhere/\xc3\xbc' # NFC (the same error as above) In the 'fatal:' error message, there are three ü; the 1st and 2nd are in NFC, the 3rd is in NFD. The added test case here follows the error description, with the exception that the 'ü' is replaced by an 'ä', which we already have as NFD and NFC in t0050. A fix will be done in the next commit.
