The solution is to add a call to precompose_string_if_needed()
to this code in setup.c :
`work_tree = precompose_string_if_needed(get_git_work_tree());`

This simple patch works for both 'ls-files NFD' and 'ls-files NFC'.

There is, however, a limitation with this very usage of Git:
The (repo) local .gitconfig file is not used,

core.precomposeunicode in .git/config is read, in function
precompose_argv_prefix(), and NFD in argv is converted to NFC.

But, as you know, the variable the_repository->worktree or
the return value of get_git_work_tree() is in NFD.

The root cause may be fixed in a different commit later.

Of course fixing the 'root cause' is better, but I don't
know whether it's easy or not.

Anyway, thank you for woking on this problem.
