In the git repository, after git checkout -f:
potomac:~/git%git status
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
...
# gitweb/test/Märchen
potomac:~/git%rm gitweb/test/Ma\314\210rchen
potomac:~/git%git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
# deleted: gitweb/test/Märchen
Aaaarghh!! There seems something inconsistent in the encoding
of the ä letter that confuses git on my Mac OS X system.
My environment has LANG=en_US.UTF-8 set, in case that matters.
Filename completion results in Ma\314\210rchen, but the index
encodes it as M\303\244rchen:
0107272 g i t w e b / t e s t / M ? ? r
147 151 164 167 145 142 057 164 145 163 164 057 115 303 244 162
The filesystem seems to be fine with either:
potomac:~/git%ls -l gitweb/test/Ma\314\210rchen gitweb/test/M\303
\244rchen

Anybody has insights in what causes this? Thanks in advance!

This has been discussed on the list in the past. Mac OS X does a bad
thing here; it is normalizating the UTF-8 encoding in a different
way than Git supplied the encoding. This is apparently done to
support its other bad feature, case insensitive filesystems. ;-)
Basically what Git gave Mac OS X during an open() syscall is not
what it gets back during a readdir() because the filesystem changed
the byte sequence on us. Yea, not cute.
I think I stuck the byte sequence Mac OS X is supplying into my
.git/info/exclude and the problem went away...
