Today I discovered a bug for Git on Mac OS X. For example, I will commit a file with the name überschrift.txt with the German special character Ü at the beginning. From the command git status I get following output. Users-iMac: user$ git status On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # "U\314\210berschrift.txt" nothing added to commit
