I have some files like "Lüftung.txt" in my repository. The strange thing is

This is a known problem.  Unfortunately, noone has implemented a fix,
although if you're serious about it, I can point you to threads where it
has been hinted how to solve the issue.

FWIW the issue is that Mac OS X decides that it knows better how to encode
your filename than you could yourself.


More like, Mac OS X has standardized on Unicode and the rest of the world hasn't caught up yet. Git is the only tool I've ever heard of that has a problem with OS X using Unicode.
