Sure you do. You continue to say that unicode is the only choice, and you 
continue to say that unicode requires that equivalent names be considered 
the same.

What part of that was I mis-interpreting?

Umm. Git works perfectly fine on OS X, and it's not like we can do a whole 
lot more about it, exactly because we cannot fix the real problem. We can 
hide some of the fallout (idiotic choice of normalization), but the bigger 
issues we can hardly even do anything about (case independence).

And quite frankly, you've also made sure that I have absolutely zero 
interest in even trying to help people with it.
