As you can see, git has the file tracked using M\303\244rchen, where \303\244 (or 0xC3A4, or U+00E4) is Latin Small Letter A With Diaeresis, but the filesystem reports it as "Ma\xCC\x88rchen" where 0xCC88 (or U+0308) is Combining Diaeresis.Yes that is due to normalization. When adding a file by name git uses the user supplied name, but when adding files indirectly it gets the names from the file system without denormalizing them. Likewize status gets the names fromthe file system without denormalizing and thus you get a mismatch.
Is there a reason for this? It seems like it would be trivial to end up with misdiagnosed "untracked" files when using any language other than English given this behaviuor.
