You mean we should do the same thing as Apple with HFS? Are you serious?
Yes, I'm serious. IMHO there should be a defined clear encoding used for files names in the repository. Otherwise you don't know what you can expect by reading it - it could mean anything. File names are in fact strings which are based on characters. To convert characters to bytes (or visa versa) you need to know the encoding. -- Best regards, Thomas Singer ============= syntevo GmbH http://www.syntevo.com http://blog.syntevo.com Johannes Schindelin wrote:

But as you said, this still doesn't make the Apple normal form any easier. Though if we know we are on such a strange filesystem we might be able to assume the paths in the repository are equally damaged. Or not.Well, if the git-core folks could standardize on, e.g., composed UTF-8 (rather then just UTF-8), for storing file names in the repository, then everything should be clear, isn't it?You mean we should do the same thing as Apple with HFS?
