Re: git on MacOSX and files with decomposed utf-8 file names

From: Jay Soffian <hidden>

So here's what I can see as being useful additions to git:

* Allowing a repo to be *optionally* configured to disallow two files
in a directory that can cause aliasing problems, with options for
unicode normalization aliasing and/or case-insensitivity aliasing. Can
this already be done via hooks and someone just needs to write the
appropriate hooks?

* Having git warn during checkout if there are files which alias in
the working copy filesystem. I guess it might be interesting if there
were a mechanism in this situation for telling git which of the
aliases you want checked out, though that doesn't seem like a very
good feature.

Thoughts (besides "patches welcomed")?
