Apparently the ZFS port to Mac OS X includes the same braindamaged UTF normalization that is applied to HFS+ volumes, which means they have reused the code or pushed it higher in their VFS layer. Linus has started to add support for teaching Git about this sort of brain damaged filesystem, but nobody has implemented the Mac OS X specific name hashing function required to make Git see that the name it got from the readdir(3) call is the same name Git passed to the OS, just encoded differently. -- Shawn. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
