There have been discussions lately on case-challenging file systems and UTF normalization on Mac OS X. I like to see these problems fixed and would like to start working on a resolution. But I did not follow the recent discussions closely.

Is anyone actively orking on these issues? What is the current status?

The patch below adds two simple tests that currently fail on Mac and Windows. I also collected Mitch's test on utf-8 and will send it as a reply to this mail. These two patches contain test cases that should pass, but do currently fail.

-- >8 -- Git behaves strangely (from a user's point of view) on filesystems that preserve case but do not distinguish filenames that only differ by case. The two major examples are Windows and Mac OS X. Simple operations such as "git mv" or "git merge" can fail unexpectedly.

This commit adds two simple tests. Both tests currently fail on Windows and Mac, although they pass on Linux.
