It's not using different encodings, it's all Unicode.

But that's the _point_!  It _is_ Unicode, yet it uses _different_
encodings of the _same_ string.

Now, this discussion gets really annoying.  The real question is:  
will you
do something about it, or reply with another 500-line email?

I wish I could do something about it. But right now I'm a full-time  
student trying to do contracting jobs on the side, and I don't believe  
I have the time to learn enough about the guts of git to try and make  
any changes to something as core as index filename handling. I just  
want people here to recognize that this is a valid problem instead of  
simply dismissing it as "HFS+ is insane, lets just ignore this issue".
