As I said on IRC already, I don't think that this is served well as an 
"attribute"... it is most likely that the issue either affects _all_ 
filenames , or _none_.

In that, it is very similar to the CR/LF issue we encountered.  There 
also, it depends more on the platform than on the filename if you want to 
enable special handling or not.

I maintain that it is even more obviously a platform issue than CR/LF, 
since the UTF-8 normalisation takes place in the filesystem driver -- 
regardless if it is needed, or wished for, or not -- whereas CR/LF might 
be not needed/wished for in one certain project, but might well be wished 
for in another clone _on the same platform_.

So I think that this would be a prime candidate for /etc/gitconfig, even 
more so than core.crlf.

Ciao,
Dscho
