I understand why that causes git-status to continually display "gitweb/test/Märchen" as an untracked file, and I'm fine with that (for the most part). But I don't understand why that causes "git add Å/goo/a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i/j/k/l/m/n/o/p/q/r/s/t/u/v/w/x/y/z/å/ä/ö/ gårdetsågårdet.txt" to show a message about gitignore, especially when a "git add ." will pick it up just fine. I'd argue that it's a bug in git, personally, and I can't figure out why it happens.

In any case, to get the test to pass we should probably just put a "- f" on the "git add", at which point it works just fine.
