As this commit is part of the published master branch, I am not sure

Some broken filesystems may not be capable of checking out and using
project files.  Too bad.

It's not a big deal. It is not limited to this project. We just fix them
or work them around and move on.

Perhaps we should remove the infamous gitweb/test/Märchen file while we
are at it?  I do not think the file is ever used.

I for one would love to see it go, seeing as I live in the ghetto that is HFS+ and am constantly annoyed by it cluttering up my status output with spurious content.

I understand that the reason it lives in the tree is precisely to discover problems with such filesystems, but the problem is well and truly discovered by now and I'd much rather see this kind of thing tested from within the test suite rather than every time I do "git status" or "git checkout".

Cheers,
Wincent
