I'm on an English OS X 10.6.2 and I created a sample file with umlauts in
its name (Überlänge.txt). When I try to stage the file in the terminal, I
can't complete the file name by typing the Ü and hitting the tab key, but I
can complete it by typing an U and hitting the tab key. Unfortunately, after
executing

 git stage Überlänge.txt

I invoked

 git status

and it still shows the file as new file. Should I set some environment
variable to be able to work with files containing umlauts in the name?

Works for me on 10.6.2:

kore:~/foo (master)$ echo Überlänge.txt > Überlänge.txt
kore:~/foo (master)$ git stage Überlänge.txt
kore:~/foo (master)$ git st
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
#
#	new file:   "U\314\210berla\314\210nge.txt"
#
kore:~/foo (master)$ git commit -m initial
[master (root-commit) f23e23f] initial
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 "U\314\210berla\314\210nge.txt"
kore:~/foo (master)$ git st
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Doesn't matter whether LANG and/or LC_* are set or not for me.
