Unfortunately, I had no time to start the real work of fixing the issues that are tested below. But at least the tests should be in good shape now and could be applied.

-- 8< -- Git has difficulties on file systems that do not properly distinguish case or modify filenames in unexpected ways. The two major examples are Windows and Mac OS X. Both systems preserve case of file names but do not distinguish between filenames that differ only by case. Simple operations such as "git mv" or "git merge" can fail unexpectedly. In addition, Mac OS X normalizes unicode, which make git's life even harder.

This commit adds tests that currently fail but should pass if file system as decribed above are fully supported. The test need to be run on Windows and Mac X as they already pass on Linux.

Mitch Tishmack is the original author of the tests for unicode normalization.
